But more related to this post, I really hope that these laptops are as good as their new X200. Looks like it's a good time to be in the market for a notebook.]]>Jul 15th 2008 12:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/

IBM Thinkpads were great. The Lenovo Thinkpad I got through work isn't as great, but it's darned close.]]>Jul 15th 2008 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/]]>Jul 15th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/
Time to stock up on T43:s then :-)

Im stocking up on X61s's.

Are the dimensions of the new T series different from the old model? Does anyone know how it compares to the SL series?]]>Jul 15th 2008 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 5:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/
Except for the wide-screen-ness and the off-centre LCD and the MASSIVE bezel, I would so whip out my VISA and add another Thinkpad to my collection.

I concur with Esse above; widescreen is only really only useful 20" and with WSXGA+ resolution or better. Anything less on a laptop, and the trade-offs from a similarly sized 4:3 screen make the entire laptop almost not worth buying at all.


I'm really hoping my current Thinkpads outlive my older T30 and T43 in terms of long-term usability (they're still working perfectly, just too slow for my needs, even my T60 is starting to feel a bit sluggish given all the number crunching I'm doing) as I currently cannot imagine myself getting a widescreen laptop.]]>Jul 15th 2008 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/
Oh well, I doubt the R line up is going to change much. However, this does mean we are going to have to select a new T and X series for work since I mean sure they are going to be clearing the channels. Which annoys me since they seem to do it a lot and don't always seem to keep to their end of life cycle. At least our imaging server is dynamic instead of static, so I don't have to keep creating new images.]]>Jul 15th 2008 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/
We switched from RIS, which was a pile. It may not be the best or most elegent solution, but it is easy to use and works. No more static images like with RIS, when we get new systems, all I really need to add in any new device drivers. We are currently working on defining department software standards and incorporating it into the system so the machine will virtually be ready to go after the imaging process is done.]]>Jul 15th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/Jul 15th 2008 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/lenovo-debuts-new-sl-r-t-and-w-series-thinkpads/
