Performance And Battery Life
Our exact ThinkPad X60 Tablet review unit, with the upgrade to a touch-screen display, won't be available until later this month. A version of the system with a standard tablet display and otherwise identical configuration, however, is available today for S$4,308.15 (US$3,066.30). That price includes decent specs for such a lightweight tablet, starting with a 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo L2400 processor; 1GB of swift 667MHz RAM; an 80GB, 5,400rpm hard drive and integrated Intel graphics.
On CNET Labs' performance benchmarks, the X60 Tablet wasn't quite as good at multitasking as its ultraportable competitors, the Asus S6F and the Dell Latitude D420, and it fell between the two systems on our Photoshop tests. But when it came to the processor-intensive iTunes encoding test, the ThinkPad X60 Tablet's slightly higher processor speed resulted in performance that was at least 10 percent faster than that of the Asus and the Dell, all of which adds up to an ultraportable tablet that feels and acts like a real laptop when it comes to typical productivity and maybe even some light number-crunching.

Service And Support
The laptop comes with three-year international carry-in warranty at the Lenovo service center. The system battery, however, has only a one-year carry-in warranty. For Singapore users, an alternative to making a trip to the service center is to send it via the postal service for free during the warranty period. On Lenovo's support Web site, you can register your warranty after which the site will automatically detect your machine configuration and offer the appropriate support. A knowledge database is available for simple troubleshooting. Updated drivers, manuals and software upgrades can be downloaded as well. If the issue requires a professional assistance, a telephone helpline is available during working hours from Monday to Friday which will dispatch a technician onsite if required.
