Lenovo ThinkPad X200 to get CULV

By Brenda Stokes on Thursday, Apr 30th 2009 1 Comment

lenovothinkpadx200 2According to a leak, Lenovo is apparently working on a new ThinkPad X200 that features a CULV processor. While this rumor is not confirmed, it would make sense since Lenovo has themselves admitted they are thinking about creating a CULV ThinkPad in the future, though they did not commit to a timeframe.

The ThinkPad X200 models currently feature a SL-series Core 2 Duo processor. This has made the price go up considerably, but with a 1.2GHz Celeron M chip, the cost would decrease, as would the voltage use. The new system would also have a 160GB hard drive and 2GB of memory.

Pricing is not known, nor is a release date. It may not even come to pass. We’ll just have to wait and see. But it would make sense in this economy for Lenovo to be looking to drop their price point a bit.

lenovo ideapad s10e 1Lenovo’s existing IdeaPad netbooks are sturdy, safe choices in the segment, but they could soon gain a ThinkPad-branded sibling.  Likely targeted more at business use, compared to the consumer-focused IdeaPad line, the ThinkPad netbook is not yet confirmed, but according to Lenovo’s Worldwide Competitive Analyst Matthew Kohut, “it’s an area [Lenovo are] exploring.”

By Chris Davies on Friday, Apr 3rd 2009 No Comments

We can’t get enough of the MSI X-Slim X340 ultraportable here at SlashGear, and after catching up with MSI themselves at CTIA this week this is one notebook we’re really looking forward to trying out.  You can see our video demo of the X340 here, but if you’re wondering just how thin the latest X-Slim is, NewGadgets’ photoshoot should prove educational.

Eight Lenovo ThinkPads hit military rugged standards

By Chris Davies on Monday, Feb 23rd 2009 No Comments

Lenovo has announced that eight of its ThinkPad notebooks have passed military-standards for ruggedization, making them not only resistant to pressure, humidity, temperature, dust and vibration, but to a greater extent than some “mil-spec” rivals.  The ThinkPad X200, X301, X200s, X200 Tablet, T400, T500, R400 and SL300 all passed durability tests despite not being specifically marketed as ruggedized models.

CES 2009: Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds hands-on

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jan 8th 2009 No Comments

Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds may have been around for a few weeks, but CES has been the first opportunity we at SlashGear have had to play with the dual-display behemoth.  Based on Lenovo’s original W700, complete with a Wacom graphics digitizer integrated into the palm rest, the W700ds adds a pull-out 10.6-inch LCD display that slides from the main 17-inch panel.  It’s an interesting concept, but our hands-on impressions leave us wondering if the compromises are worth it.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds prototype caught on video

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Dec 23rd 2008 No Comments

While I know Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds dual-screen workstation would likely break my weak blogger’s back should I actually try to lift it, that still doesn’t end its appeal.  A video of one of Lenovo’s prototypes has shown up, showing the mechanism by which the second, 10.6-inch LCD display slides out and then back into the W700ds’ lid, behind the primary 17-inch display.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds mobile workstation: New images and details

By Chris Davies on Monday, Dec 22nd 2008 1 Comment

When news of Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds dual-display workstation broke last week we did wonder if the small photo was a fan mockup – the side display looked very much “tagged on”.  Now new, larger official images have appeared, and it looks like that original picture was accurate.  Happily we also have a new price range, which is much less than what early tips suggested: Lenovo will be selling the W700ds from around $3,600.

Well this is interesting. Apparently if your Lenovo notebook is stolen, you will soon be able to send a text message to lock it down and deem it unusable, keeping your content safe. Though it’s not exactly a clear cut solution.
