True to form, the ThinkPad X100e is now known to be Lenovo's first portable in between netbooks and notebooks and should use a 1.6GHz Athlon Neo, an 11.6-inch 1366x768 display and a multi-touch trackpad. Configurations will vary but should hold up to 4GB of RAM, a 3- or 6-cell battery, and between ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/lenovos.amd.based.thinkpads.in.spec.leaks/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/lenovo.w701.to.sport.quad.core.i7.from.intel/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/lenovofccin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A recent FCC filing reveals that a new notebook from Lenovo is coming soon, powered by a 2GHz Intel chip believed to be the quad-core Core i7-920XM. The FCC filing points to the finished product as the ThinkPad W701 and confirms this with the presence of a Wacom digitizer, which has only shipped as part of the earlier W700.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/lenovo.w701.to.sport.quad.core.i7.from.intel/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/06/lenovo.thinkpad.x100e.may.reach.ces/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/lenovonetbook1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Lenovo's rumored ThinkPad netbook will launch at the start of the next year, a leak today says. It's now purportedly named the ThinkPad X100e and may ship on January 5th, just ahead of CES. System specs are only guessed at but may not necessarily cling to the Atoms found in the IdeaPads; instead, it's speculated that Lenovo may use either Intel's CULV processors or an AMD Athlon Neo.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/06/lenovo.thinkpad.x100e.may.reach.ces/ Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/03/lenovo.thinkpad.netbook.spotted/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/lenovonetbook1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />An image of what is believed to be an upcoming Lenovo ThinkPad netbook, the x200e, has surfaced online. While the company has only said it's considering the concept, the leak suggests the computer is real and appears to have a cosmetically different form factor and that it may still use Windows XP.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/03/lenovo.thinkpad.netbook.spotted/ Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/21/new.lenovo.windows.7.notebooks.arrive.in.us/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/lenovosl410intro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Lenovo today began shipping two of its ThinkPad SL series notebooks with Windows 7. The SL410 and the SL510 have 14-inch and 15.6-inch LED-backlit LCD screen, respectively, while sharing the same processor options. Either can be had with dual-core Celerons to Core 2 Duo CPUs.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/21/new.lenovo.windows.7.notebooks.arrive.in.us/ Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/lenovo.thinkpads.get.multi.touch.displays/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/lenovothinkpadt400s-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Lenovo today became the latest PC vendor to enter the multi-touch game with updates to both the ThinkPad T400s and the X200 Tablet. Both now recognize at least two fingers and, besides being better-suited to Windows 7, have a new companion app known as SimpleTap that provides quick finger-driven shortcuts to simple but important tasks like changing the volume, toggling Wi-Fi or putting the system... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/lenovo.thinkpads.get.multi.touch.displays/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/20/sony.axes.vaio.tt/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/sonyvaiott.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony has quietly pulled the VAIO TT from its lineup. The move ends Sony's current participation in the ultraportable world and comes without any sign of an immediate replacement. Dropping the system leaves only the Atom-based VAIO P and VAIO W with screens below 10 inches in Sony's lineup.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/20/sony.axes.vaio.tt/ Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/14/lenovo.recalls.batteries/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/lenovothinkpadx200-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />PC maker Lenovo has began recalling certain batteries used in its ThinkPad notebooks, Chinese daily DigiTimes reported on Friday. The possibly affected notebooks include the ThinkPad R60, R61, T60, T61, X60 and X61, though the issue isn't thought to be safety related. Some of the batteries may not be able to be charged or suffer from irreparable damage, Lenovo said. The company has provided users... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/14/lenovo.recalls.batteries/ Fri, 14 Aug 2009 20:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/09/ssd.notebooks.hurt/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/macbookair-green.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The economic crunch is making a major impact on the viability of solid-state drives in notebooks, according to new research from iSuppli. As prices for the NAND flash memory that form the heart of these drives have in some cases more than doubled -- 128 percent for a 2GB chip -- the costs for the SSDs themselves have gone up proportionately, making it difficult or occasionally impossible to offer... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/09/ssd.notebooks.hurt/ Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/23/lenovo.thinkpad.t400s/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/lenovothinkpadt400s.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Lenovo on Tuesday launched an anticipated refinement of one of its most important notebooks in the ThinkPad T400s. The 14-inch notebook takes advantage of both an LED-backlit display as well as the same, small and light drive cage used in the X301 to shrink both the thickness and weight of the T400 without compromising its feature set. It measures just over 0.8 inches thick and is 20 percent lig... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/23/lenovo.thinkpad.t400s/ Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:15:00 GMT
