Lenovo ThinkPad X41 Likes the Top Down

If the ThinkPad name sounds familiar, it should be. The product line formerly sold under the IBM brand gets a new addition, the Lenovo ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC.

The Tablet PC market gets a welcome boost today as Lenovo debuts their first available consumer product since the acquisition of IBM’s desktop and notebook business. Fortunately Lenovo has stayed true to the ThinkPad look, design and feel with the new X41 Tablet PC.

Considered a true convertible notebook PC, the screen of the X41 flips around to convert the laptop into a fully functioning Tablet PC complete with a stylus pen. What makes the ThinkPad X41 so unique is its lightweight design. Most convertible Tablet PC’s are known for their heavy weight, but the ThinkPad X41 weighs in at a mere 3.5 pounds and is only 1.14-inches thin.

The new ThinkPad X41 Tablet is available with the Intel Pentium M Low Volt or Ultra Low Volt processors, Intel 915GM chipset, up to 1.5 GB of PC2-4200 DDR2 memory, and the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900.

As an optional accessory you can purchase the ThinkPad X41 docking station which offers 3 USB 2.0 ports, legacy ports, Ultrabay Slim device bay, 56W AC adapter and integrated key lock and cable lock slot for added security. Its price is $219.

The new Lenovo ThinkPad X41 is expected to be available mid June with a starting price of $1,899. You will be able to view configurations and product specifications on the Lenovo/ThinkPad website.
