During Pepcom in New York City tonight, Lenovo previewed their X200 Tablet
PC. I am attending the event and will have additional video footage
tomorrow. Until then, we've got an exclusive hands-on video review InkShow
of the brand new X200 Tablet PC! I've been using it for a week and it is
one fast and ultra-sweet Tablet PC. Lenovo has made some significant
improvements over the X61 Tablet, and I predict people will be jumping all
over this one. Look for an official announcement on Sept 23rd.
Here is a quick run-down of the new X200 Tablet PC, its' specs, new
features, and changes. Jump down below to watch or download the hands-on
video review InkShow.
