The Lenovo 3000 is a 12" system with a touchpad so it is possible but the real question you need to ask is why you would ever buy a system without a trackpoint.]]>Apr 28th 2007 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/Apr 28th 2007 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/
I might ask the same question of you. You can tell from the design that it's obviously not a ThinkPad-branded notebook. And looking at the inside, Lenovo still retains the "ThinkPad" logo at the bottom right, and it's also absent.]]>Apr 28th 2007 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/Apr 30th 2007 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/Apr 28th 2007 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/
my 12" x31 thinkpad has a trackpoint, i couldnt live without it, and cant see how theyd fit a decent sized trackpad with proper mouse buttons.]]>Apr 28th 2007 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/
You are in the minority if you believe there is no quality difference between a ThinkPad and a Lenovo 3000 - they are not in the same league - if you treat your laptop with perfect care then it won't matter (although Lenovo 3000 features are limited in many other ways and the lack of TVT technologies leads to a higher TCO for any business) but most people do not treat laptops with care - a laptop is a tool which gets carried around so should stand some abuse.

Its not a case of ThinkPads and Lenovo not being 100% the same - they are in no way related. ThinkPad design and development is still handled mostly by the same team which were with IBM with quality and features consistent with the ThinkPad Legacy, Lenovo 3000 are a completely new range which are picked from the shelves from some generic Chinese/Taiwanese box builder by the old Lenovo China and encased in a Lenovo shell which is designed by Lenovo China with some input from the US Design team - they have more in common with a Dell or Acer than they do with a ThinkPad.]]>Apr 28th 2007 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/do you really think people care whether your internet ID on a blog site is spelled correctly or not?
CATS, KATZ, CATZ, it doesnt make a g**damn difference on the 'net, and certainly doesn't invalidate an argument. People have better things to do than to check the proper spelling of your ID which is misspelled anyway...]]>Apr 29th 2007 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/Apr 28th 2007 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/Apr 28th 2007 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/Apr 28th 2007 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/Apr 28th 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/28/lenovos-olympics-inspired-thinkpads-revealed/
