Best Tablet: Lenovo ThinkPad X60T
The demand for tablets has fallen sharply this year with ultra-portables replacing them in popularity. Due to this fact, there have been fewer tablet releases and most of them have flown under the radar. The most notable release and the pick of tablet connoisseurs this year, has been the Lenovo ThinkPad X60T. The X60T as compared to the previous generation product the X41T, brings significant improvement as it moves to the powerful Core-Duo T2500 (clocked at 1.83 GHz) processor system, gets a screen size upgrade to 12.1 inches with a native resolution of 1400x1050, has been upgraded to a Windows Vista ready graphics chipset (Intel Media accelerator 950) and an extended 8-cell battery that is capable of 8 hours of battery life. These specifications are closer to Ultra-portable levels and not surprisingly so, since the X60T has been built on the X60 ultra-portable.
Priced at $1,700 the Lenovo ThinkPad X60T has no competition in its space.
Best VFM Machine: Dell Inspiron 9400.
This was a simple choice. For deciding on a product that would achieve this tag we not only considered price points, but we considered the value the laptop brings to the table at its price range and how it stacks up against the competition. There was a unanimous winner for this tag. It was yet another Dell –namely the Dell Inspiron 9400, which has been in virtually all of our roundups since early this year. No other Laptop offers this level of performance, features and connectivity options.
Introduced earlier this year this laptop has become standard for others to emulate. It has retained the 17-inch screen which has a native HD capable resolution of 1,920 X1200 (WUXGA) and has upgraded its CPU to a Core2Duo processor—the T7200 (clock speed of 2 GHZ) which is one of the fastest mobile CPUs around. Graphics is still handled by the GeForce 7900 GS Go system. The sound is taken care of by an internal 2.1 with an integrated subwoofer. In terms of expansion options, Dell has made no changes. The Inspiron 9400 offers FireWire, S-Video out and 4 USB 2.0 ports. Storage has been upgraded and now is handled ably by a fast 7200 120 GB HDD. With prices starting at Rs. 78,000 there would be few who will argue with its impeccable credentials.
Dell sucks, I bought a laptop and the HDD conked out after only a year.
