Lenovo ThinkPad x200e images leak |
I 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.


Lenovo is apparently trying to corner the market on all-in-one computers and has been releasing several of the machines over the last few weeks. Today Lenovo has announced a new AIO machine called the ThinkCentre A70z. Lenovo touts that the machine can start up in 35 seconds and shut down 40% faster than rival systems.
Lenovo has a new all-in-one PC. This one is the first in the Lenovo ThinkCentre range, an all-in-one targeted at business users. Lenovo’s Flickr says that this desktop is “Lenovo’s first business class, Think-branded all-in-one PC announcing soon at EDUCAUSE 09.”
Lenovo introduced a few new computers today, but the most interesting visually is the B500 all-in-one, which sports a sexy and stealth fighter like angular design. The IdeaCentre B500 isn’t just about looks though. It has decent specs.
The upcoming ULV-powered, 11.6-inch IdeaPad U150 has just been announced in Japan. We don’t know when it will be coming to the US. It packs an Intel Core 2 Duo SU4100 ULV processor, integrated graphics, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, multitouch trackpad and Windows 7.
Lenovo’s IdeaPad S12 will be hitting Japan on October 22nd, along with Windows 7. As usual Lenovo isn’t delivering anything outwardly sexy here, but the S12 has some decent enough specs.
Dual-screen notebooks are still popping up and the latest is Kohjinsha’s dual 10.1-inch screen netbook prototype, which was spotted at the CEATEC show in Japan. Just like the Lenovo
Lenovo’s Q110 nettop has now gone on sale for $399. For that price you get 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive, along with Windows Vista Home Premium. Though many of you will probably wait a few weeks and get it with Windows 7 loaded in.
Netbook SSDs have come in several forms, but finding the right model for your machine is about to get much easier thanks to the SATA-IO working group having just announced a new mini-SATA standard called mSATA that should get it all uniform and reduce it’s footprint some.
Two segments in the computer industry are growing robustly despite the economic downturn around the globe. Those two segments are netbooks and all-in-one desktops. In fact, IDC expects the all-in-one category alone to grow by 12.4% from 2008-2013. Today Lenovo added a new all-in-one to its line called the C100, and it’s cheap.
Next year you may be able to watch video on your laptop with an OLED screen from Samsung, who is eyeing 2010 for a commercial OLED notebook release. The company says that it will release an OLED notebook towards the end of 2010, maybe in the third quarter.
If you are in the market for a
Those looking for a happy medium between a nettop and a full-fledged HTPC will want to check out Lenovo’s sexy new Q700 system. The company describes it as the “perfect fit” for anywhere in your home. Just so long as you don’t do any serious computing that is.
Over in Europe subsidized price notebooks and netbooks are very common with most of the major mobile providers offering all sorts of notebooks to users at discount prices. The caveat is that you have to sign away years of your mobile broadband freedom to get the deals.
The first image and rumored specs for the ThinkPad T400s was leaked a few days ago. We don’t yet have a release date, price or official specs, but it has been Spotted in the wild doing some adventurous stuff. By adventurous we mean being run over by a giant truck, and left in the downpour of a tornado.
