Thinkpad X60 — the Tablet Goes Ultraportable 122

Posted by CmdrTaco from the send-review-units-no-return-postage-necessary dept.
Rovi writes "Lenovo had a gift for Thinkpad fans this season- they finally released the successor to the X41 Tablet. The Thinkpad X60 Tablet weighs in at about three and a half pounds and has great tablet functionality. The updates from the older model include a 2.5" hard drive (the X41 used a 1.8"), automatic screen orientation, and an Intel Core Duo processor. For performance seekers some serious upgrades are available, such as a 120GB 5400RPM hard drive, 100GB 7200RPM drive, SXGA+ monitor, or up to 4GB of RAM."

        Towards the end, IBM's choice of laptop hardware and their BIOS ACPI tables worked very well with Linux. IBM's support may translate some, since Lenovo started from a good position and were not necessarily inclined to deviate for no reason (Also, Lenovo bought the employees too, so the tendency would be strong). My biggest concern is if they continued to take care to do the ACPI tables properly or not going forward, but having the same firmware developers gives me hope.

        Yes, IBM sold the Thinkpad line to Lenovo. But the IBM logo continues to appear on Thinkpads, including the X60 [unhunter13.free.fr]. Apparently IBM also sold the temporary right to use the IBM logo to "sustain sales momentum" [zdnetasia.com].

        So it's a natural mistake to look at a Thinkpad and infer that IBM still plays some role in its development and deployment. Like many such branding exercises, Lenovo's use of the IBM logo is just a bit dishonest.

      I ran Debian on a Toshiba M200 (1.6ghz Pentium M, 2 GB RAM, 7200rpm HDD, dedicated NVidia video card). Good specs (at the time) for a 4 lb system, plus the tablet features. It was fast enough, and had a high res (but small) display so it was my primary dev system, although like the x60, it's a convertible, not a true tablet (big difference).

      I never did focus on word recognition since I consider it awkward, and I didn't end up exploring the MS tablet integration features (some of which sound interesting) much before the XP partition died of a virus. Unfortunately, under Linux it was a challenge keeping the stylus, touchpad, rotation, power management, and video out working (or not). Not to mention the proprietary SD card reader. I'm no expert, but it was an unreasonable amount of very frustrating try-this, scanning outdated bulletin board conversations, etc work, and the implementations kept changing so if one thing is fixed, another breaks. This was 2004 - 2006, btw.

      I did use it for some occasional drawing, and it was nice to be able to fold it down for some situations.

      Having a vendor supported model would be a tremendous boost for Linux, and people like myself who want full vendor support. The kernel and the environment are of course separate, so it would really just take a 'certified' list of open source friendly hardware.

      My understanding is that they should perform identically. The low voltage one was just able to pass the test at that voltage where the "normal" one would have failed the test at that low voltage. They make them all the same, then bin them based on which tests they pass. The exception to this is if they have high demand for 1.6 GHz chips but are producing lots of extra 1.8 GHz chips they may re-mark them and sell them as 1.6 chips (which is why sometimes the slow speed grades overclock so well).

      This is my understanding. It's a bit like military spec chips. They perform identically, they are just designed for different conditions (in this case, less voltage).

Of course, if you want to make use of the extra detail by making everything smaller, that's your choice.
      • Ideally, this is true; in practice a lot of applications and web pages break if you run at > 100 dpi. If you increase font size on many (if not most) web pages you end up with a bunch of unreadable, overlapping, and truncated items. Flash based web pages are worse as they have no zoom, you might as well break out a microscope to read them.

        Application software fares somewhat better, most apps under linux handle high DPI reasonablly well, but there are still a lot of windows apps which were designed using

      Are you saying that having more pixels, somehow makes things harder to read? It sounds to me like the display should be pretty sharp.
