The only question I have left is, what kind of GPU are they thinking of putting in this T-series? Previous iterations of the line had (at the time of release) a low-mid range GPU that can perform some duties decently. I will be disappointed to see something like an Intel GMA from the X-series make it in. Maybe IBM will take the S12's move to ION and slap it in here too?

Either way... kinda makes me wish I held out on buying my Studio XPS lappy and waiting for these to come out =(]]>Jun 23rd 2009 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-intros-well-connected-0-83-inch-thick-thinkpad-t400s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-intros-well-connected-0-83-inch-thick-thinkpad-t400s/Jun 23rd 2009 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-intros-well-connected-0-83-inch-thick-thinkpad-t400s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-intros-well-connected-0-83-inch-thick-thinkpad-t400s/Jun 23rd 2009 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-intros-well-connected-0-83-inch-thick-thinkpad-t400s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-intros-well-connected-0-83-inch-thick-thinkpad-t400s/Jun 23rd 2009 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-intros-well-connected-0-83-inch-thick-thinkpad-t400s/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/23/lenovo-intros-well-connected-0-83-inch-thick-thinkpad-t400s/

I'll reserve judgment on the keyboard, though it's only the 5th (fullsize) keyboard change EVER in 17 years. The big esc is a boon for vi users, I'm sure.

Knowing this, Lenovo spends a lot of time perfecting the design of its keyboard. Lenovo found the average user hits the Delete and the Escape key 700 times each a week. To help improve the typing experience, Lenovo made these buttons larger. With many people eating lunch at their desks, Lenovo tightened up the spaces between the keys to help avoid crumbs that would otherwise fall below the keyboard."

...and the keyboard is still qwerty --with one key, and only one key, to occupy both your thumbs, so instead of a quick thumb press to shift or ctrl, your pinkies get to fly all over the place! Same old worthless caps lock. Same old distant backspace. It's almost as-'re-everythinged' as the keyboards on the Macbooks!
