Lenovo ThinkPad X201 leaked by own company
Lenovo has inadvertently slipped out some of its ThinkPad upgrade plans through a support manual. The X201 as its name suggests will be a subtle upgrade to the 12-inch ultraportable on the outside but will make a major jump in performance through Intel's new chips. A regular model can use up to the dual-core 2.66GHz Core i7, while the slimline X201s will have the low-voltage 2.13GHz i7 as its best choice.
Either will have the X200's existing choices of a 2-megapixel webcam, going with or without a trackpad, and a docking station. Only the X200s will have the option of a 1440x900 display instead of the usual 1280x800 panel.
No clues have been given as to when the new ThinkPad will show, though rumors have the release coming as soon as next week. [via NotebookReview]
