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.

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.

Windows 11

If your Windows PC has ever refused to boot, you know the panic that follows. You scramble to find another computer, download the Windows installer, and create a bootable USB drive just to get your machine running again. Microsoft wants to end that headache with a new feature called Cloud Rebuild.

As reported by Windows Central, Cloud Rebuild lets you perform a full reinstall of Windows 11 without USB media or a custom image. Better yet, it doesn’t depend on your current installation being healthy, so it can even rescue a PC that won’t start.

Now, Granola wants to help you outside your meetings too. The company has added a new voice typing feature that lets you speak instead of type in any app you use. Best of all, every Granola user gets it at no cost, and there’s no cap on how many words you can dictate.
