The unannounced ThinkPad X60 Core Duo Tablet PC

I just noticed that someone unearthed details of an (as-yet) unannounced Thinkpad X60 tablet.

Intel Core Duo Processor L2400 (1.66GHz, 2MB L2, 667MHz FSB)
Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC 2005
512MB of memory
12.1" XGA Display (1024×768)
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
60GB HDD
Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g)
8 Cell battery with up to 8 hours operating time

A Dual Core tablet at a little over 3 pounds and 8 hours of battery life would be absolutely killer . I really hope the XGA (1024x768) screen resolution listed is wrong. More supply issues? Does IBM use the same panels as Toshiba?

f only this had a high resolution screen, I would definitely have to think hard about upgrading. As it stands, I think I'll stick with my M200.

great find, Tim!

I think the model number is x60, not t60, though.

Looking at the comments on the original artical, the X60 is a normal laptop not a tablet. Goggle the model number and you will see.

I'm still not sure.

The X60/X60S is a consolidation of the X40 and X60 lines, with the X60S replacing the thinner X40. Given that the X41 was available as both a laptop and tablet pc, it seems feasible that there will be an X60S tablet edition as well...

Does anyone know if the x60 tablet is coming soon? I'm trying to decide between the x41tablet and the x60, so im reluctant to purchase either if the x60 tablet is coming soon. Any news??
