Wow! Are these ever cool. I think IBM did a great job. There are still some challenges that exist with tablet technology, but IBM did a great job getting it done. The IBM tablet is light, fast and cool. IBM x41 Tablet PC.
I played with one a couple weeks ago for 2 days and loved every minute of it. The device is reliable and impressive. It is hard to even begin to describe all the impressive features. Recently, Patrick Stuart picked up the x41 so I have played with his in a little more detail.
He has the fingerprint reading setup, which is incredibly accurate and convenient. He did find a bug in the laptop, it has to do with when the power settings are set to maximum (specifically when the multiplier is above 13) and when the processor is tapped. The problem is that the mouse begins to bounce around near the hing for the display.
Check with Patrick at his site to find out what he has found out able the problem from IBM.
Even with this problem, I am still very anxious to be getting my own tablet. For me it will not replace my ThinkPad G41 due to the screen size and processing power; however, it will supplement it nicely for on the go computing!
