Tablet PC

August 4, 2005 05:04 by author

I'm thinking of picking up a Tablet PC, namely the Lenovo (IBM) X41 Thinkpad. I do quite a bit of online reading and have often thought it would be nice to sit back in the arm chair and read this stuff. A tablet should allow me to do this as well as keep better tabs on my meeting notes. The reason I think I want the X41 is the following:

Weight. It weighs the same as most of the slates being offered, which is awesome considering it's a convertible.
Battery Life. With the 8 cell pack most reviewers are getting 6+ hours per charge.
Screen size. Most of the lighter slates only have a 10" screen, the X41 boasts a 12" screen.

Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't by an X41? Can anyone tell me where I can get one (in stock)?

No I hadn't seen that paticular blog entry, but I've seen similar. That's kinda why I asked "Can anyone tell me where I can get one?" I Think I'll wait a few weeks and see if they start showing up in stock, I hate ordering stuff and then waiting.
