HotHardware.com reviews ThinkPad X41 Tablet and writes: “It has taken quite sometime for ultra-portables to be fully accepted by the notebook community. This really has more to do with their price tags, than any specific design or aesthetic issue. Considering that ultra-portables are usually more expensive than traditional notebooks, it isn’t hard to see why most people would choose the cheaper option. And because ultra-portables have traditionally been low power options, and battery life was lacking, they were usually relegated to the low end. Add that to the fact that any previous practical use of an ultra-portable still required a main system to compliment it, either a desktop machine or a more traditional notebook; an ultra-portable asked a lot of any prospective notebook buyer. However, its benefits are clear, and most of the time undervalued. For any one on the move, ultra-portables are a godsend. Microsoft’s particular interest with this segment of the mobile PC market is in regard to Tablet PCs. Tablet PC’s obviously have their own set of problems that have prevented full market adoption (again mainly due to price), but we’re going to look at one that may change may people’s minds, the IBM X41 Tablet.” Read full review at HotHardware.com
