Today, its dated Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and 2GB of RAM are best suited for Linux distros and performing only the lightest of work. While original X61/X61s ThinkPads can be found in varying degrees of preservation on eBay for around US$100, the original X61 ThinkPad is over ten years old by now. In addition to being an all-around excellent sub-notebook, the X61 also happened to be part of the last generation of ThinkPads Lenovo released with 4:3 displays. Historically, Lenovo’s X60 and X61series were beloved by many for their (relatively) compact dimensions, weight, and performance. One of the surprising details about the second Kindle Oasis is how it doesn’t have a frontlight where you can adjust the color temperature.We first covered this rather unique laptop in late January this year. Like my counterpart, before Amazon released the 7" Oasis, I was expecting that their next Kindle would feature an integrated color-changing frontlight. Amazon, Apple, and Google had all added a a similar feature to their reading apps, and Kobo had even released a couple ereaders where you could adjust the color of the frontlight. Kobo was the first to release an ereader with an adjustable frontlight color, the Kobo Aura One, in late 2016, and then they followed that up with the second-gen Kobo Aura H2O, in the summer of 2017.Īnd now even the Nook Glowlight 3, and the Tolino Epic, have frontlights where you can adjust the color temperature.
I myself have never found much use for the feature yes, changing the light emitted from a screen so it has an orange or reddish tint has been proven to actually help make it easier to get to sleep, but I have found it is just as effective to simply put down the gadget at some point in the evening and then not pick it up again. Plus, I've just never liked the idea whenever I used it, it felt like a bug rather than a feature, and I kept wanting to "fix" it by returning the colors to normal. How about you? Do you think Amazon should add an adjustable frontlight to the next new Kindle? I'd never use this feature, but I could be in a minority here.

#INKBOOK MODEL T62 SOFTWARE#
The invite suggested that it would focus on the ed tech market, and now it appears that the presentation will center on a price cut for the iPad.Īpple is preparing to introduce new low-cost iPads and education software next week in a bid to win back students and teachers from Google and Microsoft.
In its first major product event of the year, Apple will return to its roots in the education market. The event on Tuesday at Lane Technical College Prep High School in Chicago will mark the first time Apple has held a product launch geared toward education since 2012 when it unveiled a tool for designing e-books for the iPad.
It’s also a rare occasion for an Apple confab outside its home state of California. In Chicago, the world’s most-valuable technology company plans to show off a new version of its cheapest iPad that should appeal to the education market, said people familiar with the matter. The company will also showcase new software for the classroom, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private plans. Steve Jobs made schools a priority for Apple early in its life. But as the company has driven toward mass-market and higher-margin products in recent years, Google and Microsoft have had success breaking into classrooms with inexpensive laptops and tablets. Last year, the global educational technology market generated $17.7 billion in revenue, according to research firm Frost & Sullivan. This is of course only a rumor, but it does make sense and it fits with Apple's past trends.Īpple has cut the price on the iPad several times. The lowest-priced 9.7" model now costs $329, down from $499 when the iPad launched 11 years ago, so it makes perfect sense that Apple could be planning to cut the price again. I lost my iPad, in 2016, and now will be a good time to replace it.
