Right now I’m weeping like a fresh cesarean scar in a hot-tub at the news that Lenovo have finally seen fit to upgrade their deliriously delicious X60t Convertible Tablet PC to a rooty-tooty Core 2 Duo CPU. Consistently scoring indecently well in reviews - even, shock-horror, in those carried out by non-Tablet-lovers! - one of the only black marks against the pen-toting ThinkPad was the relatively ancient processor.
In fact so arcane was the CPU, Lenovo was in fact running short on the original chip and Intel were no longer producing them, so in the interim period they had to offer a lesser model until they could prep the Core 2 Duo version.
I fear this may be my next Tablet PC, especially since you can currently get a $300 discount if you buy before 16th April.

Hint: IBM offers a 25% student discount on these puppies.
so it’s either $300 or 25%. Choose wisely.
Thanks blademonkey! Anyone know if IBM in the UK offers the same deal?
so if I understand this correctly the x60t is now a 64 bit system? not runing those low voltage chips?
I have been looking at this system for months!! hehe… an I agree that the chip was one of my biggest hold ups (and the lack if dvd/cd) .. so taking a close look at my usage (I have a 10 year old dell inspiron) I dont really use it that often except to load sofware or copy music..
now im wishing that intel would get together and come out with the 40 nm… ( will I ever be happy)
have a great day everyone
