GottaBeMobile Reviews the Lenovo X41
Rob Bushway from GottaBeMobile.com has produced a very nice video review of the Lenovo X41 Tablet PC. I've been waiting for this review for awhile because 1) Everything from GottaBeMobile is great and 2) I own the X41 and have always spoke very highly of it and another review/opinion on it is always welcomed. Rob even likes the X41 so much that he is keeping it as his major Tablet over the LS800. Ironically for me he chooses it because of its performance, the one thing I don't like about the X41! The performance in my opinion is only sub-par and can barely handle encoding videos with Camtasia Studio. I know it's not a desktop replacement and encoding videos is demanding work but there are also noticeable performance issues like a lengthy startup time and the overall time it takes to complete some tasks. The slow 4200 rpm hard drive is most likely the biggest culprit and my hope is a faster 1.8" that fits in my X41 will be released sometime soon.The performance is really my only negative feelings on it though, so the portability, excellent battery life and pen on paper feel all make up for it sometimes sluggish speed. When a duo Tablet with Vista comes out I will start looking for a new one but for now like Rob, the Lenovo X41 is my personal choice as well!
Overall it's a great review and another thumbs up for the Lenovo X41 Tablet PC!

hey, thanks for those really kind words.
The performance on the X41 could definitely be better, but compared to encoding videos on the LS800, the X41 was really my only choice.
Like you, when the core duo one comes out later this year, I'll be upgrading. No other convertible out there has my eye.
I have not had the opportunity to play with an LS800 so if it’s indeed slower than the X41 your choice makes total sense. I did not see that you had a LS800 review! I will have to check that out! I have a friend looking to purchase that tablet for dental school (they must have a slate) so I immediately sent him a link to it as well.
I love everything you do at GottaBeMobile and hope to see even more great reviews!
