Hey there, I came across your postings as I was looking for reviews on the X61. I have a couple colleagues with this tablet. They are very pleased with them and use them everyday for work. I have seen lenovo lower the prices of this unit drastically shaving a grand off of their normal price (soon to release a new model?) Thanks for your info and pics of the unit. I am still weighing my decision between this laptop, and the Dell Vostro 2510; however, I believe the X61 will win the day 🙂

The fingerprint scanner is located near the bottom left of your screen. If you start Lenovo password manager, you should be able to setup which fingers you want to use. All you have to do is slide your finger across the scanner.

As for bluetooth, hit Fn+F5 to bring up the wireless connection screen and you should be able to turn on bluetooth from there.

Hi, I have 2 questions (I have the exact same x61 tablet)
1) how does the fingerprint scanner work (and where is it)?
2) How do you turn the Bluetooth on?- I want to hook up a mouse and keyboard.
Thanks.

My Wacom Graphire2 pen had a two-way switch as the side button, and you could assign functions to either side. That was most likely a function of the tablet drivers, but you may want to look into that. It also provided application-specific bindings for the button actions. I never really used it outside of Photoshop, and then it got lost probably two years ago, so… >.>;

You could also reassign the tip and eraser buttons, IIRC, but I liked them with the default settings.
