Lenovo ThinkPad X41 Review

Lenovo ThinkPad X41You are all going to start thinking I love Lenovo with all the posts about it lately, but that is honestly not really the case. I just have been running into many articles about the company as they release new models and update the old ThinkPad line with new processors and whatnot, also like Pocket-lint, they are just getting around to being able to review the X41 tablet.

Getting a rating of eight out of ten, the X41 seems like a pretty solid bet, if you are looking for a tablet PC, but they do say that the price is a bit high. They put the battery life in their “good” column, but I think it could be a little bit better, atleast with the stock battery that it comes with, as three hours is reasonable, but not great.

Lenovo is quickly switching their machines over to the new Intel Core Solo and Duo processors to be part of the “in” crowd, but as the reviewer remarks, sticking with the Pentium M actually has not been a bad thing for the ThinkPad line:

While it seems the world is switching over to Intel’s Core Duo chip, Lenovo’s current chip of choice is the ultra-low voltage Pentium M, in this instance the 758, which is backed by 512MB of DDR2 memory. You won’t find this the fastest machine on the market but it’s quick enough to handle office tasks with ease. The pay off comes in how quiet and cool the unit runs in use, so you’ll be able to carry it around without it getting too warm to the touch.

I totally agree with that, as my ThinkPad T43 has done very well for not getting too hot to handle.
