Wow – DK – You certianly have Lenovos ear! Thanks for checking in David. I belive that I am having the same problem, (although I haven’t asked, that DK was having. When you click through from the VISA promotion – you can’t actually order anything. I am considering not using the VISA promotion anyway, because of the limited systems that are available on that promotion – but there is a huge difference on the price of the software upgrades. Under the VISA page – to get MS Office it is about half the price of the normal price on the Lenovo page. As far as tech questions – you have answered one of the main – do I loose any tablet features going with Vista. The other Vista question is – does it preform well on the tablet? I understand Vista likes a seperate video card w/ memory dedicated, and I can not figure out if the Tablet has a seperate video. I am unsure what the Intel Graphics Accelerator is.

Happy to help. As for Vista and the tablet — there is no tablet version per se, but Vista does contain “better” tablet function support than XP.

Fire away with questions and I’ll try to answer or find someone who can.

I have alerted Lenovo to this, and asked them to read this blog. B.C. can you write your questions in detail here so if/when the Lenovo people take a look at this, they can answer?
Thanks

Just a quick follow up – made my phone call to Lenovo – WAS NOT IMPRESSED. The “kid” who answered did not seemed very knowledgable about the product and did not answer specific questions about XP Tablet versus Vista. He did speak English, though!

Thanks for the response. I think I am in the same boat that you were. I have had many machines from Dell and they don’t quite hold up in the long run. It is time for me to get a “real” notebook, and the tablet is very appealing. I became worried when I was searching for reviews on the X60 so it was nice to hear from a real person who actually uses it. Do you have the tablet operating system. It looks from Lenovo’s website that the new ones are shipped with Vista, I wonder if I loose any tablet feature with having Vista.

I absolutely love it. The only thing I would change would be to have it come with less junk software installed. (Every company does this now.)
I also would like the screen to be able to be at full brightness when I am on battery only.

Other than that, it rocks!! The battery life is forever. Customer service is awesome! It is light and easy to carry. Very fast. No complaints at all. With the drop and spill warranty, I feel fearless using it everywhere and anywhere. I can not recommend it more highly if you want a small machine with tons of power!
