It's not just HP delivering a new bucket of goods, as Lenovo is also stepping forward with a new ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC. Designed first and foremost for mobile PC users that'll be handling work in the field, this on-the-go machine can be equipped with an optional multi-touch display or a sunlight viewable option, both of which sound delightful for those who can't spend but so much time indoors. The multi-touch version supports one and two-finger gestures on the screen, giving users the ability to pinch, zoom and tap their icons rather than having to mouse over to 'em. Using advanced capacitive touch (as opposed to resistive, which tends to be "mushy," the screens are sensitive and responsive...

This is clearly evident both in the X200's design and its specifications. Lenovo’s X300 tries to be as compact and feature-rich as possible, sacrificing raw computing power to present a fully featured notebook in an amazingly compact frame. However, the X200, just like the X61 before it, takes the opposite approach, sacrificing some size and features to preserve compute power. Built on Intel's new Centrino 2 platform, the ThinkPad...

The Lenovo ThinkPad X300, released earlier this year, was quite an exciting product and Hot Hardware wasn't the only publication to award it an Editor's Choice (our review). With its svelte form-factor, LED backlighting, solid state hard drive and unique, ultra thin optical drive, the X300 is a standout product packed full of cutting edge technologies that is unmatched by many other notebooks in its class. Even Apple's lauded Macbook Air is no match, when it comes to pure utility and function. While the X300 may be a best-in-class product, with its relatively slow 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SL7100 processor and a $2,300 price tag, it probably isn't the most sensible purchase if power...

Hey all, the weekend news has been rolling in, and it's time to unload a few articles. Enjoy! Cooler Master Praetorian 730 case review @ Xtreme Resources "Cooler Master has introduced the 730 series of aluminum alloy cases into the marketplace for enthusiasts. As the successor to the successful Wave Master case design, an improved air flow design implemented the use of 2 vertically stacked 80mm exhaust fans just underneath the power supply.
