Lenovo's decision of launching ThinkPad X41 is pretty bold, considering that despite efforts made by Microsoft and Tablet PC producers, these types of systems represent a small percentage of the portable system market.

The majority of analysts consider that one of the factors that stalled the adoption of Tablet PCs is represented by high prices, especially when compared to notebooks,

The ThinkPad X41 is no exception to this rule and despite impressive technical specs (Pentium M, 256 MB DDR2, 12.1 inch display), the price tag of $1,899 is rather steep, especially since there is a wide range of notebooks that have similar specifications and are available for the same amount of money.

Still, the fingerprint data protection system, wireless connectivity and the Digitizer Pen that doesn't require any power are enough pros to make ThinkPad X41 an interesting alternative for mobile users.

Moreover, the weight of only 1.5Kgs cannot be matched by many notebooks.

Therefore, Lenovo's ThinkPad X41 has a lot of chances to draw the public's attention on Tablet PCs.
