Lots of news today.
Lenovo Thinkpad 10 confirmed - 10.1'' 1080p IPS screen, digitizer + pen & Atom Z3795 (W8.1 x64) under the hood
Online stores have been hinting that Lenovo was working on a 10-inch counterpart to its ThinkPad 8 tablet, and now there's no doubt: the company's Australian branch has listed a ThinkPad 10 ahead of an official announcement. While a full-fledged product page was only briefly available, it was enough to show that the new Windows slate shares much in common with its smaller sibling. You'll find a slightly faster 1.6GHz quad-core Atom processor and up to 4GB of RAM, but there's still a 1,920 x 1,200 screen, up to 128GB of storage, an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front shooter. Not that we're griping about the similarity between models, since this ThinkPad 10 should still be leaps and bounds more powerful than the aging ThinkPad Tablet 2.
The ThinkPad 10's big advantages over its 8-inch cousin are likely to revolve around its optional gear. As with the Tablet 2, there are promises of versions with LTE data and pen input. You'll also have the choices of a basic dock, a keyboard dock and a keyboard case if you need your tablet doubling as a workstation. Lenovo didn't give out any release details as part of its teaser, but an official listing suggests that a launch is just around the corner. We'd also expect a price premium over the $399 ThinkPad 8 -- that extra display area and processing power won't be cheap.

Impressive specs, another flagship Windows tablet based on Bay Trail-T, I hope they launch it at a competitive price (similar to Dell Venue 11). Also, new Bay Trail-M fanlesse notebooks from Acer:
Acer Announces Fanless Aspire E11, V11 Subnotebooks
Aspire E11
Aspire V11
Intel's budget Bay Trail family of processors, encompassing models for tablets, notebooks, and cheap desktops, offer decent performance with low power draw. Low enough, in fact, that Acer has decided to not go with traditional active cooling for their new 11.6” Aspire E11 and V11 ultraportables, and are proudly trumpeting this fact in their marketing.
Liliputing's photos show an Intel Pentium N3520 quad-core, 2.16 GHz Bay Trail model in use with the pre-release E11 they looked at, though models with unspecified dualie Celerons will presumably be available as well. Both E11 and V11 will offer up to 8GB of RAM and hard drives with up to 1TB of storage. [...]
