Moar on laptops
Mar. 5th, 2008 05:54 pmOk, the choices. The X61 is too big and the X300 is outside of the price range I'm willing to pay. So that leaves...
1. Lenovo ThinkPad X61s:
268x211x20–28mm (10.5x8.3x0.8-1.1")
1.24kg (2.73lb) - 1.58kg (3.48lb)
Overall - Small, light, and cheap.
2. Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet
4cell: 274x244x27.4 – 33.1mm (10.8x9.6x1.1–1.3")
8cell: 274x267x27.4 – 33.1mm (10.8x10.5x1.1–1.3")
1.71kg (3.77lb) - 1.93kg (4.25lb)
Overall - Basically $330 for the built in tablet function...
For reference, my current laptop (T43) is:
12.2" x 10" x 1.2"
5.1 lbs
On reflection, I think I will need to get an external CD drive at least. Otherwise I'm not sure how I'm supposed to install some software that come on CDs like the Office suite and Photoshop. Also, it appears the CD drive is cheaper on Amazon.
