Anyone interested in Lenovo’s ThinkPad X200 tablet is no doubt pretty well acquainted with it by now, and if you’re sold on it you can now finally get your order in for one, though it’ll apparently still take one or two weeks to actually ship. Contrary to what we had heard earlier, it looks like the base price starts at a slightly more reasonable $1,844, although you’ll have to drop an additional $275 if you want a fancy MultiTouch + MultiView display, and the rest of the baseline specs are also expectedly lightweight. That’s nothing an extra $1,000 or so in upgrades can’t fix though — hit up the link below to get configuring

It didn’t take long for Lenovo’s two-faced ThinkPad X200t to hit the test bench after coming over to US soil, and the critics over at Laptop Mag have mostly positive things to say about it. For starters, the convertible tablet maintains the “security, durability, and performance” that we’ve come to expect from Lenovo. The keyboard was deemed “excellent,” the lightweight design was applauded, the display performed admirably and the performance was very satisfactory (or “snappy,” as it were). The biggest knocks on the machine were the omission of an optical drive and the below average battery life; testers only squeezed out around 6 hours, which was far less than the company’s claim of 10.3 hours. Still, at just north of two large, the X200 was seen as an excellent choice for those seeking a versatile business machine, particularly if you dig that stylus-on-screen action.

While we’ve seen tons of evidence that the Thinkpad X200t is ready to hit, the tiny tablet’s managed to remain thoroughly hidden until now — and unsurprisingly, it looks a lot like the X61t it’s undoubetedly going to replace. Still no specs, pricing, or release date to be found, but we’re guessing those’ll come any day now.

Lenovo’s dimunitive X200 finally made the scene just recently after hiding out in the shadows for a couple weeks, and it looks like it’s got a little friend waiting back there as well — some specs for a tablet version of the 12-inch ultraportable surfaced over the weekend. We’re not taking any of this as fact — the spec sheet showed up on the web page for the Hong Kong Baptist University, and it’s accompanied by a picture of the regular X200, so it could just be a mistake — but we certainly wouldn’t say no to a 4-pound tablet with a 1.86GHz SL9400 Core 2 Duo and a 7-hour battery life for $1,339, so we’ll see how this one plays out.

We got specs on Lenovo’s rumored ThinkPad X200 a couple weeks ago, but we didn’t really know what it looked like until now — surprise, it looks like the X300. We’re not exactly pumped about the removal of a trackpad in favor of TrackPoint nub, but we suppose something’s got to give to hit that 2.9-pound starting weight. One more shot at the read link.
