Design 

              With the business traveler in mind there are a number of new design points that separate this model from its predecessors, all of which are improvements.  One of the first thing you will likely notice is that the audio ports have been moved to the front of the notebook for ease of use. No more propping a booted laptop on its side to find the headphone jack when you are cramped in the middle seat on your flight home from wherever you had just been.  You will also find that it is now sporting a 1394 port also located on the front. Another noticeable change is the speakers have been relocated to the top of the keyboard.

                   Lenovo has kept the business focus of the Thinkpad notebook line without being afraid to innovate. Staying true to the essence of the line they have built a solid performer ideal for the business traveler. My only complaint so far has been battery life. I had heard claims of significantly better batter life possible on the new lines, but I have yet to see that in my testing. Final rating - 4.5 out of 5 stars

                  Lenovo stuck with the same tried and true design elements for the X61.The magnesim alloy backed frame which protects the system against wear and tear, its pitch-black ID are identical to those of the rest of the Thinkpad line.Unlike many of its competetors, the tablet comes with a standard size screen and only one option for resolution,1024*768.The mate screen finish is more advantageous for office work,but the screen allows for less vertical scrolling in tablet mode.
