These models will be releasing in North America on the 22nd of October. Source is an employee at lenovo. Hope this helped!]]>Oct 11th 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
Sure, this looks great if we were stuck in 1985. You want to sell these laptops to tweens and mainstream buyers? Tough luck, nothing about lenovo laptops are attractive - not price, not quality, definitely NOT LCD SCREEN QUALITY.

TAKE A HINT - at least from DELL, HP, and especially SONY. ]]>Oct 11th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
They're not supposed to look like macbook pros. If you value durability and performance over design you get a Lenovo.]]>Oct 11th 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
You can have your lame "artsy" designs which look like they were made by 13 year olds with paint, and your glossy screens, and your touch sensitive media buttons. It's OK. Your shitty little HP Pavilion will die in a year.

Us grown-ups will use laptops for functionality rather than form. Lenovo make REAL computers. Not the "shiny" pieces of shit built for 14 year olds who like touch sensitive buttons and silly artwork splattered all over the design.]]>Oct 11th 2009 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
The casing is cheap plastic, there is no roll cage, the keyboard is junk and doesn't even lie flat, I could go on and on. I do not like my SL500, and I am here to try to disavow this notion that these laptops are in any way "real" Thinkpads.

I've got a T500 with a HD, LED backlit screen.]]>Oct 11th 2009 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
Oh, and lose the trackpads :p]]>Oct 11th 2009 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
1366x768 vs 1280x800
1440X900 vs 1600x900
1920x1080 vs 1680x1050
1920x1080 vs 1920x1200

1080p v 1920x1200 is the only exception, but most 14-15in laptops don't hit that anyway. If you have a 17in mobile workstation, you probably would want the extra pixels because you would be doing heavier work, not watching movies.

Me? I'm still waiting for a 1080p T510.

Regardless of aspect ratio, LED-backlit thinkpads have kinda failed on providing decent resolutions at smaller screen sizes. 1280x800 just isn't enough for a 15in notebook. I know they offer 1650x1050, but it's not LED backlit.]]>Oct 11th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
Anyway, I love IBM laptops. I just wish my t61 had a better screen. I wonder SL410 would be a good replacement. ]]>Oct 11th 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
It's almost as if... they were targeting business or something.

It was just such an awesomely small computer, and the new x200 has a different feel.

The x41-61 are amazing in size and portability + durability.

the widescreen is cool and all, but.... on such a small laptop i prefer square.]]>Oct 11th 2009 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 11th 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/

IMHO SL400s are a great option for those like me who want a well built, reasonably priced laptop as a home computer/occasional travel and don't want to spend a fortune on what is at the end of the day, just a computer. Mine's already outlasted my brother's far more expensive Pavilion and a friend's Dell Studio.]]>Oct 11th 2009 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 12th 2009 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 28th 2009 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/Oct 12th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/11/lenovo-intros-sl410-and-sl510-thinkpads-overseas/
