I think I found a decent bag to carry my X61T Tablet. I had a real hard time finding something that was small and non-bulky, yet had some extra room to carry a little more than just the tablet itself. This bag is made from neoprene and is very light. It is slightly larger than the X61T, but I think I'll be happy with it. It has a small pocket on the front that could hold maybe an extra battery or a power supply. It also has a strap on the back that you can slide over the pull handle on a rolling suitcase.

The fingerprint reader software on my ThinkPad X61T has stopped working at the Windows login screen. I've tried re-installing the software a couple of times, to no avail. So I have re-installed Vista and I'll be getting all the drivers installed again. This time I am not going to use the ThinkVantage system update software though. It never quite worked right.

After just short of a month, my ThinkPad X61T Tablet PC arrived last week. So far, I am pretty happy with it. The first thing I did was create the recovery discs and then flatten it. It came with Vista Ultimate 32 bit. I installed Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I found this guide on doing a clean install on ThinkPads. It worked well and I am now running Vista 64 bit.

Why do I want to run 64 bit? Well, I installed 4 GB of RAM (max supported by the hardware) and I want to make use of all of it. I also plan on running virtual machines on this laptop. I'll run at least one VM for work because our VPN solution doesn't support Vista yet :(

So, what's the hardware configuration?

• Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 (1.6GHz, 4MB L2, 800 MHz FSB)
• OCZ 4GB PC2-5400 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM (2 DIMM)
• 12.1" MultiView + MultiTouch WVA XGA TFT (1024 x 768)
• 200GB SATA 7200 RPM Hard Drive with Hardware Disk Encryption
• 1GB Intel Turbo Memory
• ThinkPad X6 Tablet UltraBase w/ 8X Dual Layer DVD Recorder
• Integrated Bluetooth
• Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965AGN
• X60 8 Cell Li-Ion Battery

Lenovo is having a sale right now if you want to order one. (No, I don't get any kick-backs from them!)

More to come after I play with it some more!
