Almost as soon as tablets became the hot new thing in consumer electronics, corporations and small business users wanted in on the action, too.

Last week we got into a discussion about what makes notebooks and netbooks feel cheap. On the other end of the spectrum, there are PCs that look and feel rock solid.

I’ve been handling my iPhone 4 with kid gloves since I bought it in June. Its shiny glass exterior might go unscathed for a year or two, but sooner or later I’m sure it’s going to scratch or break unless I wrap it up in a very heavy-duty case. Like most consumer gadgets, the iPhone [...]
Good news, bad news: Good news is Engadget China managed to get their hands on Lenovo’s ThinkPad roadmap for 2010, and the X201 Tablet PC is right there in the tablet tier. Bad news? It’s obviously just an update to the X200, and there appear to be no other Tablet PCs on the map. Yes, [...]

I’m a big fan of Lenovo Thinkpad keyboards. One thing you have to adjust to if you’re coming from another machine is that the CTRL key is not the left-most key on the bottom row. For some folks this is a real gotcha and brain burn because they want that CTRL key at that location. [...]
Phoenix Technologies had a demo of a new BIOS at IDF 2009 that gives a glimpse into the future of starting up your PC. I’ve never seen a Windows PC go from off to start menu so fast. PC manufacturers will of course have to pay a premium for something like this and they may [...]

Lenovo will begin offering an Intel Celereon M processor on the ThinkPad X200s.
