Finally - New Thinkpad X220

[MikeyMouse]

Hello =p. I normally just lurk, but when I saw this I tripped some balls.

It has nice battery life and an IPS display:thumbsup:... About time. (even though it's not an amazing res..)

Here's the spec sheet (from the engadget article)

Now to see the crazy prices they'll be able to get away with.

Interesting to see what kind of aftermarket graphics options are available. The rest of the setup looks quite configurable in the right range. I'm also a trackpoint fan.

after years of lenovo sticking with (mostly) crappy lcd panels, its about time they listened to public outcry and offered ips again

Too bad, I was hoping for some mid-range dedicated graphics cards.

It's probably too hard to offer them in a 12.5" form factor and still keep heat in check, though.

Where in the hell is the T420s?? I want a good sandy bridge laptop with fast graphics and a Trackpoint!

I really hope we see some higher res IPS displays soon although it is nice just to see it as an option again.

It'll probably roll out around the same time as the T420/T520.

OMFG! This sounds really close to my "dream" notebook. If pricing is reasonable...

Anyone want to buy all my current notebooks off me? Got a Clevo M980NU, Clevo M860TU, Dell Latitude 13, Hannspree 12", MSI Wind netbook...

The lack of a 1440x900 LCD, available in both the x200s and the x201s, is a big drawback.

I wonder how it'll handle Hackintosh? lol
