Wow. Great find! I wouldn't have believed it until I seen it. The photos are great.

awesome!

I've been having a hard time choosing between the x41 and the x32... this makes it even more difficult *lol*

Guess I have got time to wait a little more....

I love this. Great information. I'm definately buying one once they are released.

It's odd they call it a X41 because it doesn't have a fingerprint scanner. I'm sure they'll assign it some other model number once it's released.

Release postponed to end of June, beginning of July was the most recent date I've heard bandied about.

But apparently there is some drop-dead pressure to have this on the streets during the 4Q fiscal '04, perhaps due to the sale.

Oh my, I just took a closer look at that picture. Is that a Windows key on the keyboard?

Now I want to have an X41 to complement my X40!!!

(Question to self) when will technology ever slow down? *sigh*

nonny,

Yep, looks like a Windows key to me. There must have been some changes in ThinkPad's enginering/designing group.

Wow, you got sharp eyes. I totally missed that.

I missed it too. What would we do without our Nonny?

You're right - they were all replaced by lunatics! Is nothing sacred??

How many non-Windows OS's exist for tablet PCs?

Is there really a linux alternative that people will use?

If the answer is no then it makes sense to include a Windows key since that is how the vast vast majority, if not all, will be used.

C'mon guys, think before you let your MS hate blind you

I wonder if this is just a tabletized T-series. That'd be awesome, I'm so in love with the T series, perfect size/performance, the X just seemed a little small to me.

#19 Post by **K. Eng** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 1:30 pm

From the looks of it, the unit is X-series sized.

I am wondering how sturdy the single hinge is. I'm used to having 2 pieces of stainless steel holding the machine together, so a single hinge makes me a bit nervous. No way to tell until the unit ships, I guess.

Do you really think this is going to be the size of the x41?

It looks a lot bigger in the pics...maybe an inch or two in length and width...it also looks thick...I read through all the reports of the testing...I was surprised that they didn't put the dimensions somewhere.

If it were a T series it'd probably have the trackpad.

im generally not one to say anything negative about thinkpads. and i was really lookin forward to the tablet, but geez wtf did they do to the keyboard? the space bar is almost nonexistant, it looks almost impossible to type comfortably on

I have less than zero interest in bashing any OS. My objections to adding another key to an already crowded keyboard are purely ergonomics and aesthetics. Look at how small it makes the space bar.

admsteiner · #24 Post by **admsteiner** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 7:41 pm

My apologies...I figured it was OS based

One could just remap the windows key to act as the space bar too...i think

It's not Windows key. That's Japanese layout keyboard.

its supposed to be used as a tablet..
primary use, right..?
so a tiny space bar can be forgiven..??

besides, wait until the US model arrives..
