Lenovo ThinkPad X41 Convertible Tablet PC

Lenovo aims to change the Tablet PC market with the latest addition to its ThinkPad portfolio - the innovative ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC. Featuring a writable slate and full-size keyboard, Lenovo says the new ThinkPad X41 Tablet is the industry’s thinnest, lightest and most secure convertible Tablet PC.

Equipped with the ThinkPad signature full-size keyboard, the ThinkPad X41 Tablet provides 170-degree viewing, an optional integrated fingerprint reader for security, the latest ThinkVantage Technologies for reliability and wireless connectivity, and flexible one-step expandability through the optional new ThinkPad X4 Dock. The tablet also offers standard anti-reflective and anti-glare coatings to maximize indoor viewability.

Starting at 3.5 pounds and 1.14-inches thin, the ThinkPad X41 Tablet is nearly 20 percent lighter than its closest competitor and delivers the longest standard battery life of any 12-inch convertible tablet.

The new ThinkPad X41 Tablet is available with the Intel Pentium M Low Volt or Ultra Low Volt processors for longer battery life, Intel 915GM chipset, up to 1.5 GB of PC2-4200 DDR2 memory, and ‘robust graphics capabilities’ through the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. Select models will boast the longest standard battery life of any 12-inch convertible tablet, at up to 6.3 hours on select models with the optional 8-cell battery.

The ThinkPad X41 Tablet comes equipped with Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 with capabilities that support digital pen input, handwriting recognition, speech input and the tablet PC form factor.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X41Tablet will be available on June 14 with prices starting at $1,899.
