<p><strong>Spec</strong></p><p><img border="0" alt="X61T specification" src="http://mycapsules.com/sites/default/files/2008/09/x61t-2/image_28.png" width="390" height="341" /> </p> <p>This is based on Santa Rosa platform (2007 Intel platform), so there is nothing much to say since the successor, current generation--Montevina platform-- is a bit better in almost every aspects. Anyway, the distinction here besides the screen is low-voltage CPU. It really helps boosting the battery life into over 5 hours easily while this is a bit high threshold for its generation and it's still performing good with 4MB L2 cache. You'll see later on.</p> <p><strong>Performance</strong></p> <p>Although the tablet PC doesn't need any kind of topnotch performance, a general idea how fast it is still concerned most people.</p> <p>First with <em><font color="#ff8000">Windows Experience Index</font>,</em> as far as most people are concerned, this could easily compare to everyone's system without messing setting up anything else.</p> <p><img border="0" alt="WEI: X61T" src="http://mycapsules.com/sites/default/files/2008/09/x61t-2/image11.png" width="360" height="140" /> </p> <p><em><font color="#ff8000">Start-up time</font>: [from windows splash screen to be able to open ie8 with fully loaded myCapsules.com page.
