Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC MultiTouch and Ultrabase

- Dennis Rice

TspicWell, the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC InkShows just keep on coming!

In this installment, Dennis Rice takes a look at the MultiTouch XGA / Outdoor screen option, and also the Ultrabase mobile docking solution.  The X60 Tablet PC is very much a unique device, and these two options are a couple of very strong points to consider.

It was a real challenge for me to do a good representation of how the touch screen functionality works, so please bear with the quality on this one a bit, but I think you will get a good idea of how well this works if this is an option you are considering for your next Tablet PC purchase.  What you see on camera and what you see in realtime are a bit different (with things like screen brightness and outdoor viewing, probably due to camera angle), but I think you will get the idea.  I also really like the mobile docking solution “Ultrabase”, and go over it in pretty good detail as well.  I imagine most of the GottaBeMobile crew will own one soon.

Lenovo has put a great deal of effort into these options, so I hope this will enlighten you on their functionality!

Once again our special thanks to the team at Lenovo for providing equipment, and a really great product!

Dennis,
Thank you for the great video!

A quick question, please confirm whether an optical drive is included in the Ultrabase unit for the $199.00 pricing and whether this optical drive is a DVD or just a CDRom drive.

Thanks
John

Now that the X60 Tablet has been released, will Gottabemobile be doing a side by side comparison with the HP TC4400? The two computers are now roughly the same weight, and have similar options. I'm having a tough time determining, absent actually evaluating the machines myself, whether going with the outdoor screen option on either notebook is worth it.

Aside from that, I'm curious of your thoughts on the difference in interface between the d-pad on the Thinkpad and the jog-dial on the HP, and whether there are other noticable differences between the models.

Thanks,

Jonathan Becker
