Though the optical drive is not integrated, everything else about this business portable is top-notch, especially battery life.
Review Verdict: Our review unit, which included an UltraBase docking station with a dual-layer DVD burner, costs $1724 (as of July 27, 2007). The great performance and features, and its reasonable price, make the X61 our current top choice of ultraportable

Review Verdict: Those who aren't sure they need or want a tablet might be better suited to the nontablet X61 model, but if you heavily rely on pen input, the X61t is the way to go

For a university student, the ability to "write" on a tablet's screen is tremendously useful for recording diagrams, presentations, and marking the electronic notes lecturers give. I narrowed my choices to the HP tx2500z ($1000), the Thinkpad X61 Tablet ($1600), and the Dell Latitude XT ($2500). The Latitude was out due to price. It wasn't easy deciding between the HP and Lenovo, but I chose the Thinkpad for its (markedly) better build quality, battery life, and better screen (the glossy screen of the HP is impossible to use in overhead lighting. Yes, the X61 is due to be replaced soon, but will be replaced with a variant of the X200. This means it will be widescreen; I won't be able to get the awesome 1400x1050 X61 screen. Like any Thinkpad, it's solidly built. The single centre hinge for the display is rock solid. Performance good (not outstanding), but plenty for my engineering applications and multi-tasking. Don't expect to do any hardcore gaming on this notebook.
