Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet with Honeycomb coming this summer

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on April 24th, 2011

Lenovo has failed to keep the secret with a PowerPoint that reveals a new ThinkPad tablet for “on-the-go professionals.” And it isn’t a Windows 7 convertible either, but an Android 3.0 tablet with an optional pen and an “keyboard portfolio case.”

The whole thing weighs 1.6 pounds. Other features include an IPS display and a dual-core Tegra 2 processor. It also sports dual cameras, one in front and one in back, 16/32/64GB storage, USB 2.0, Micro USB, a mini HDMI port and an SD card slot. Wi-Fi and 3G models will be available. Sounds like a great tablet.

ThinkPad W701 and W701ds specs

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on February 19th, 2010

Lenovo has an update in their premier widescreen workstation range. Some supposed internal Lenovo slides show off the new W701 and W701ds ThinkPads and some specs to go along with them. The W701 is listed with an Intel Extreme series CPU and a Wacom Digitizer.

There’s also the dual-screen W701ds. Both machines offer up to 16GB of RAM, SSD options up to a quarter of a terabyte, and Ultrabay expandability. Even DisplayLink ports. But only a two-hour battery life on the 701ds? Say it isn’t so.

Lenovo ThinkPad X201 details leaked

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on February 17th, 2010

More details on the Lenovo ThinkPad X201 line have leaked out. The 12″ ultraportable device has some major changes made within and some subtle changes outside. The standard model features a dual-core 2.66GHz Core i7 processor. The slimline X201 will have the low-voltage 2.13GHz i7 as its best option.

Both models will come with a 2-megapixel webcam, your choice of a trackpad and a docking station as well. We don’t know when the new ThinkPad will make its appearance, but stay tuned. We should know more soon.

Lenovo ThinkPad x200e images leak

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.

Lenovo ThinkPad T400s gets run over by a 26,000lb DOW truckThe 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.

It doesn’t give us a price or availability, but it is fun to watch in the same way that seeing Mr. Bill get squished or ran over Is fun. Both videos are below. The first one shows how tough it really is. I won’t spoil the ending for you.

Lenovo W700ds shows off on film

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on December 25th, 2008

Lenovo W700ds shows off on filmLenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds is pretty damn intriguing. We want one. Sadly every gadget under our tree had just a single screen. So we were happy to learn that GottaBeMobile got their gadget-loving hands on one. They were nice enough to share their knowledge of the twin screened beast.

The model they have features a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU, 4 GB of RAM, and NVIDIA Quadro FX3700M graphics. The primary display is a 17-inch WUXGA with a 1920 x 1200, while the secondary panel is a 10.6-inch WXGA with 768 x 1200 resolution. It still looks pretty awesome to us. You can check out the video below.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds on video

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on December 22nd, 2008


Dual screens on a laptop. Oh yes. We’ve been drooling over Lenovo’s W700ds, and now we have the laptop’s first widely available video. The unit in the video appears to be that of a pre-production model.

Another thing that you might have noticed is the wobble in that pull-out panel. Yikes, that thing looks fragile. It looks like it didn’t go back in too easy either. But we’re hoping Lenovo works out all it’s issues before it hits the market for real. I have no doubt that they will as they have a lot riding on this unit.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds dual-screen laptop detailsWe told you about this dual-screened ThinkPad a few days ago, but now more details have come to light. The W700ds comes with your choice of Intel Core 2 Quad processors and is combined with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M GPU. RAM maxes out at 8GB and SSD / HDD storage maxes out at 960GB.

The primary 17-inch screen is supposed to be the brightest on the market, and if that’s not drool-worthy enough, it sports an integrated WACOM digitizer. The 11 pound laptop starts at $3,600, so you’d better start saving your money for January it ships.

IBM ThinkPad W700 has integrated second display

Posted in IBM by Conner Flynn on December 18th, 2008

IBM ThinkPad W700 has integrated second displayWe didn’t see this one coming. Although we had hoped for something like it, after seeing the Apple Tribook. The new IBM ThinkPad W700 may only have one integrated secondary display, but it’s a foldable, 10.6 inch secondary display, with 768 x 1,280 pixels and LED backlight.

This may not be an Apple Tribook, but hell that was just a fancy dream. This one is real and the IBM ThinkPad W700 feature list has us impressed.

Lenovo ThinkPad X301

Lenovo, which earlier this year debuted its quiet thin ThinkPad X300, is back with word of the next model in the X300 family. This time around it is the Lenovo ThinkPad X301, with pricing starting at around $2,600.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X301 offers what Lenovo says is, on average, nearly 20 percent better performance over the ThinkPad X300 notebook due to the latest DDR3 memory and the latest Intel Core 2 Duo ultra low volt processor. The X301 also offers choices of either 64 GB or new 128 GB solid state drive storage as well as support for both DisplayPort and VGA.

PolyFuel Lenovo T40 laptop prototype

PolyFuel Lenovo T40 laptop prototype
When you talk fuel cell technology, you generally think cars. Well, fuel cell technology could end up under the hood of your laptop in just a few short years. Maybe sooner.

A company based in California named PolyFuel has been working on an interesting prototype that converts methanol fuel to electricity to power a laptop. The Lenovo T40 ThinkPad is being used as PolyFuel’s prototype. The fuel cell is about the size of a standard deck of cards. Running at full capacity, it will supposedly have 10 times the power of similar Lithium Ion batteries. That translates to three times the battery life, which is about 10 hours. Refillable cartridges can be carried and switched on the go, making it super easy and convenient.
