Chris Davies, Oct 6th 2010 Discuss [2]

Back in February, Lenovo was pretty committed to their decision not to produce a ThinkPad-branded slate to take on the iPad, and they had the market research to prove it; turns out, would-be ThinkPad buyers simply love the notebooks' keyboard too much. Now, though, it seems the company is having second thoughts.
