electic102 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 When IBM first released the X31 ThinkPad in March 2003 it was heralded as the undisputable, ultra-portable, heavyweight champion of the lightweight notebook computer world. Weighing in at just 3.6 pounds and packing a powerful processing punch, product reviewers proclaimed that mobile computing doesn't get much better than this. That is, of course, until today. IBM engineers went back to the weight room and knocked another pound-or-so off the popular portable PC. Weighing in at just 2.7 pounds, IBM's new X40 ThinkPad is the lightest and thinnest ThinkPad ever. Internet News (article) More Coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
