Want List :: Lenovo releases new Linux Laptop
Posted by: David Vasta
LINK :: Lenovo X41 Laptop with Linux
The X41 is small and light, weighing around 2.7 lbs with the 4-cell battery it came with. It uses a 1.50 GHz Pentium M processor with the Intel 915GM chipset. Other specs include: Intel PRO wifi chipset (fully supported by Linux out of the box), Intel graphics card, a 12.1″ XGA TFT screen, 512 MB RAM (Geeks sent us a 1 GB RAM upgrade too, reaching the overall RAM of 1.5 GB), fingerprint reader, a 1.8″ 60GB drive at 4200RPM. It features a modem port, an ethernet port, headphone/line-out, external microphone, infrared, expansion bus for IBM laptops, VGA-out, 1 PCMCIA slot, 1 SD slot, two generic USB 2.0 ports, and 1 IBM “USB” port (not compatible with most gadgets).


I am an old Thinkpad fan. I use a Mac when I am at home and I am forced to use a DELL at work, that I hate, and would kill for a Lenovo (IBM) Thinkpad. Seems the boys at Lenovo have been working overtime and made a Widescreen laptop, with a second screen. It looks like aneat idea and I would love to see it in production.
