Reviewing Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet (Windows Vista), CNET gives it 7.3 out of 10 rating (very good) and writes, “When we first looked at the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet in November 2006, we were impressed by its usability features, including an indoor/outdoor touch-screen display, an improved stylus, and the Active Rotate feature. Since the release of Windows Vista Business Edition, though, we were curious to see how our favorite tablet performed with the new operating system. To that end, we got our hands on an X60 Tablet that had been refreshed with a faster processor, more RAM, and a larger, faster hard drive. These enhancements were enough to sustain the X60 Tablet’s reputation as an excellent tablet with enough power for demanding business use. It’s still expensive–our review unit cost $2,467, and that still doesn’t include even an external optical drive–but the ThinkPad X60 Tablet remains one of our favorite convertibles for highly mobile business users. If you’re looking for a tablet with a built-in optical drive and are willing to carry a few more ounces, the Fujitsu LifeBook T4215 offers similar features and performance for a nearly identical price.”

The good: Lightweight, portable design; good performance and battery life; comfortable stylus and keyboard; screen automatically rotates when you adjust tablet position; touch screen is usable in direct sunlight.

The bad: Expensive; somewhat dim display; lacks S-Video port; price does not include an optical drive.

The bottom line: The lightweight Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet now runs Windows Vista–and remains one of the best convertible tablets on the market.
