Yeah, these X61t are getting pretty old! Everyone laughs at me for using this thing. But then I look at their slick new laptops, with plastic frames, loud fans, shiny widescreens, and so on, and I smile at my sturdy little workhorse.
The X220 still has a proper keyboard, I think. I'm thinking about buying an x220 tablet to replace one of these x61ts. Mainly it would be for the sake of battery life. With 4gb of ram and SSDs, and running Debian, my laptops do everything that I need. But anyway, you might take a look at the X220.
Honestly, even with my M92 working, I still maybe preferred my X61 in tablet mode, with Xournal for annotations. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard so that I don't have to switch out of tablet mode, and I can display to an external screen while in tablet mode, and have a browser or whatever open on one window with a PDF open on the laptop screen. For me, it's very efficient.
I had some of the same reasons for getting an M92, but I could never quite get used to the very slow processor and proprietary OS. I was really excited about Obuntu, and mostly it works great, but, again, fonts look terrible. I'm sure there's a solution, but I couldn't find it.
