Lenovo recently announced their multi-touch tablets, the Lenovo ThinkPad T400s Tablet and the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet. These special devices support multi-touch capability. The former is a more high-end kind of device. It supports more advanced features than the latter.
Let’s take a closer look at the X200 tablet here. This rare laptop packs in some very useful and impressive touch features. The capacitive touch interface is sensitive to gentle touches too. Multiple touches can be recognised. Currently, it has been empowered to identify operations done with 2 fingers only. This portable PC comes equipped with the SimpleTap feature, which lets you use the tip of a finger to work around settings, volume control, bookmarking and more. Simple finger gestures like pinching, flipping through pages, tapping, zooming, scrolling and more can be used. Moreover, the firmware has been designed such that imprecise taps are compensated smartly. For example while navigating the menus or closing a window. The display is covered with an anti-fingerprint film as well, to prevent ugly fingerprints from spoiling the screen.
This touchscreen device has a 12.1″ display with WXGA resolution. An Intel Core 2 Duo processor has been employed to handle all instruction-processing. A 1GB RAM and a 160GB hard drive come integrated within. This machine will most probably ship with Microsoft Windows 7 OS.
This tablet PC has been designed for people who have a lot of traveling to be done. It is easier to work on a tablet than a normal netbook or laptop when your’re traveling by public transport. Moreover, one can opt for the super bright screen, to enable working outdoors with ease on a bright sunny day. This device can find use in the fields of health care, sales and education.
A 9-hour battery life can be expected from the tablet PC. This can suffice a whole day at work. The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Touchscreen Tablet costs $1,654 in the US. If you opt for the super bright display, then you’ll have to pay $1,704. This surely falls on the more expensive side of the fence. But, considering the offerings of this device, it seems like it’s worth it.
