Lenovo’s newest Tablet

Lenovo announced that it would start selling its second mobile tablet PC–the ThinkPad X60–next month. In June 2005, the company launched its first tablet PC–the ThinkPad X41. In its effort to improve on the X41 model, Lenovo wanted to offer users a more usable and feature-rich tablet PC. In building the X60, the company offered a 12-inch, high-resolution display that adjusts to indoor and outdoor use, said Mike Hagerty, the worldwide segment manager for the ThinkPad X series. The tablet also offers a touch screen that allows users to move the cursor with either the tablet’s pen or their finger, Hagerty said. The X60’s screen rotates 170 degrees and offers a feature called “Active Rotate,” which orients the screen to the user.
