Whenconfirmation of Lenovo's multi billion dollar purchase of IBM'spersonal computing division surfaced last year, laptop lover'sthe world over were left wondering whether this was the end of anotebook era.

Well Thinkpad fans can breathe a ragged sigh of relief, becauseLenovo have just announced that they will be releasing the X41Tablet PC, the first ThinkPad to be made in tablet PC form, onJuly 15th.

A Tablet PC is a laptop with the capabilities of being written on through a touch screen,allowing the operator to use a stylus and interact with thenotebook without mouse or keyboard. Once Tablet PC's wereutilized only in specialised industries, such asmedicine, or journalism, but now they are used by anyone whofinds this computing format convenient.

Weighing around 1.6 KG, Lenovo claim that the X41 is thelightest 12 inch Tablet in it's class, the X41 can also beconverted to a regular notebook with keyboard. Indeed this Tablethas all the features of a standard X41 Thinkpad - Built infingerprint reader, 40 GB hard drive (can be upgraded to 60GB),motion sensor, Intel 1.5 GhZ Pentium M processor and Sonoma 915GMchipset.

Linuxis an option, but many Tablet personal computers run on theWindows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system, and the X41 is norebel. Already the tech runes indicate that Lenovo will stick tothe quality craftsmanship that has made the Thinkpad brand ahousehold name. PCMag certainly thought so, they made the X41 theirnew Editors' Choice, for convertible tabletPCs.
