I owned a Thinkpad prior to the Dell I have now. I have to say, I will be going back to Thinkpad when I am ready to upgrade. I have had quite a few problems with my Dell…

This ThinkPad X41 tablet computer features Intel Centrino Mobile Technology, a remarkably compact (less than 1″ thick) and lightweight design, a 12.1″ XGA display that swivels, wireless capability, extra protection for the hard drive, and easy-to-use system-recovery software. ThinkVantage Technologies and ThinkVantage Design elements help to improve productivity and to decrease operating expenses.

Design elements include:

Integrated Fingerprint Reader: Fingerprint authentication prevents unauthorized access to your system and data, plus it reduces the hassle of forgotten passwords.

Rescue and Recovery: Help when you need it most. A 1-button data-backup and recovery solution.

Active Protection System: Airbag-like technology includes motion sensors to help protect data on your hard drive against accidental drops and falls.

Access Connections software: An easy way to switch between wired and wireless networks.

Spill-resistant keyboard: The ThinkPad keyboard is sealed and sits in a tray, so liquids are less likely to get through to damage the system. Recently, I flung coffee all over my laptop – what a mess, this would make for a nice feature for me!
