Laptops usually run on a single main battery or from an external AC/DC adapter that charges the battery while also supplying power to the computer itself. Many computers also have a 3 volt cell to run the clock and other processes in the event of a power failure.
Laptops contain components that are similar to their desktop counterparts and perform the same functions, but are miniaturized and optimized for mobile use and efficient power consumption, although typically less powerful for the same price. Laptops usually have liquid crystal displays and most of them use different memory modules for their random access memory (RAM), for instance, SO-DIMM in lieu of the larger DIMMs. In addition to a built-in keyboard, they may utilize a touchpad (also known as a trackpad) or a pointing stick for input, though an external keyboard or mouse can usually be attached.

Lenovo X61 Tablet Review: A Portable Powerhouse
by Lee Kent
The Lenovo X61 Tablet computer, has provided the computer world with a sleek, highly portable, and highly versatile convertible PC notebook of the kind is highly in demand by people who are always on the go, such as university students, field reps, entrepreneurs, and soccer moms. In addition, it's very simply a tool totally designed for geeks such as the helplessly computer enamored and professional writers and journalists.
Lenovo's beloved X series of personal convertible electronic notebooks continues its evolution of the electronic tablet with the Lenovo X61 Tablet, an improvement even over its 'PC Magazine' Editor's choice, the forerunner X41, while taking care of the flaws of the in-between X60 (more efficient performance, longer battery life, and higher testers' scores against industry expectations). The Lenovo X61 Tablet takes miniaturization to another level while improving computational power and versatility. This is a good thing, although some PC users might be somewhat irritated at times with the Munchkinization that can make typing a little more of a challenge for those with larger than average sized hands, especially men.
The Lenovo X61 Tablet has been all the rage in the PC savvy world since it was released last year. It sports what is still considered to be the very best laptop keyboard in the industry and a sturdy, rugged, sleek black matte finish over a light circuitry chassis (made with light-but-strong magnesium alloy), and it's almost instantly ready as soon as you get it out of the box. The ThinkPad X61's electronics were based on Intel's Santa Rosa platform, which was the very first x86 (Core and Pentium CPU chips) chip platform to be introduced for PCs back in 2003. The Lenovo X61 Tablet’s powerful Core 2 Duo processor (X61 models come customized with your choice of the R, T, X, or Z family) is in the direct line of descent from this platform.
Because of its target audience, the Lenovo X61 Tablet does not give in to the industry warming trend of the wide screen, but keeps the standard 12" screen, keeping vertical scrolling needs lesser. Not only does it have, despite its miniaturization, the full-sized keyboard that made the X41 so beloved, it also features cutting edge TrackPoint pointer-stick technology that is simply unmatched. The ThinkPad X61 Tablet’s one of a kind 180° swivel hinge allows cutting edge screen swivel-and-flip mobility ideal for note-taking, writing, database management, and collaborating.
The Lenovo X61 Tablet is fully compatible with Windows Vista and it can be fitted with embedded WWAN (wireless wide area network, or "wireless broadband"), adding even more to its on-the-go versatility. It's also very easy to use function keys that enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology. However, the X61 Tablet has been criticized by some for not having a built-in optical drive (Lenovo offers a separate, attachable docking station but that weights two pounds, and the built-in optical option was kept out for the sake of weight in the first place).
Starting prices for the Lenovo X61 Tablet typically begin a little over $1,050 before configuration. Some find the X61 Tablet pricey, but you get what you pay for.
