ThinkPads get makeover

Lenovo is <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2139055,00.asp?kc=EWKNLWMU053107STR2">revamping several of its ThinkPad notebooks,</A> including a tablet PC, to include Intel's new Centrino Pro mobile platform plus features to improve security and battery life.

Lenovo, which acquired the ThinkPad name when it bought IBM's PC division in 2005, plans to roll out the new versions of its ThinkPad X61 and X61s notebooks and its X61 tablet May 31, company executives said.

The additional features in the X61 and X61s are meant to appeal to a wide range of enterprise customers who work from the road for long stretches of time, while the X61 tablet is geared toward customers in specific vertical markets such as those in the education and health care markets, said Mike Hagerty, a worldwide segment manager for Lenovo.
