Lenovo ThinkPad x200e images leak

Posted in Lenovo by Shane McGlaun on November 3rd, 2009

thinkpadx200eI am not convinced that the supposed images of a new Lenovo ThinkPad that are making their rounds are nothing more than some slick Photoshop work. I may be wrong, but the machine doesn’t really look like a ThinkPad. Not that it has an awesome design or anything.

The machine is clad in white, the typical ThinkPad is a blackish gray color. Other than the white hue and some shots of the keyboard, not much is known about the machine. Considering the shots show the keyboard lacks a number pad, I would bet the screen is 12.1-inches or under.

If you are in a hurry to get out the door on a Friday fast shut down is a nice feature. The machine sells for $499. For that, much loot you get a 19-inch screen holding the CPU, RAM, storage and all that jazz. The machine can support up to 500GB of storage.

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on May 4th, 2009

Lenovo preps new S10 Netbook with 3G moduleA recently revealed Lenovo user manual pretty much confirms an updated S10-2 netbook. We don’t have complete specs, but it looks like more than a minor update, as the netbook appears to have a different hinge rounded edges, an extra USB port, a larger trackpad, and a revised keyboard layout.

There are also some new access bays for RAM, hard drive, and wireless card. But sadly, Lenovo has removed the ExpressCard slot. Consider that a trade-off for the built-in 3G. Nothing on pricing or availability yet, but we expect them to make it official any day now.

Lenovo teases Pocket Yoga touchscreen netbookThat Lenovo netbook we showed you this morning? Sadly, not a real product.

Apparently it’s a concept that is at least two years old. Following the earlier leak, the company decided to show more formal shots. Ah, who needs a pocket Lenovo anyway, when all of their other offerings look just as polished and svelt?

Lenovo teases Pocket Yoga touchscreen netbook

Lenovo teases Pocket Yoga touchscreen netbookRemember that weird Lenovo netbook thing that resembles the Vaio P? Well Lenovo has confirmed the existence of its mystery netbook by posting teaser images on its photo feed. It’s now called the Pocket Yoga and has both the ultra-wide, VAIO P-like display and a leather-bound shell.

Concept sketches show the PC not only supporting a touchscreen for a stylus but a convertible design that would let the display flip backwards to use it as a very small tablet too. We still don’t have any specifications, though its size would suggest an Intel Atom or similar chip. It probbly has a built-in webcam and a trackpoint-like controller to back up the touch display.
