    Hi all,

    A quick question for all you IBM lovers, will there ever be a Txx Tablet from IBM/Lenovo? My ideal computer:

    T43 Tablet:

    1.86-2.0ghz PM
    512mb DDR2 RAM
    60+ HDD
    ''X300 gfx''
    Ultrabay Slim drive
    Fingerprint
    Bluetooth
    IBM A/B/G Wireless

    Is it safe to say that this won't happen?
    Would you buy a computer like this?
    Good/Bad idea?

    Your thoughts.....

    It is possible now that Leveno is in charge. The new Z series has a few unseen before thing like widescreen and Windows key.

    I hope soo..... :D

    I love the functionality of tablet PC's, but the X41 is too small, no gfx card and no optical drive.

    I would love a tablet but there is nothing on the market that 'lures me' at the moment.

    I will never buy a toshiba........

    BTW Zazonz,

    Would it be sucessful?
    Would people buy it?
    Is there a major reason why lenovo would not to build a txx tablet?

    I think most tablets tend to be smaller. You might want to post this on TabletPCReview.com. Probably more knowledgeable people on the subject over there.

    I agree that a T43 tablet may end up being a little too chunky to be successful. After all, aren't tablets supposed to bridge the gap between laptops and PDA's?
