IBM Thinkpad T4X rumors?

[dannybek]

Is there any news about developments or price changes, new models about the T40,41 series? I heard that there is a T42 coming out in May, I couldn't verify.

Someone posted it yesterday. The T42 should be out in May. It was a posting at Clemson University. There was a T42 with a 15" SXGA display and only weighted 5.5 lbs. That is very tempting!

yup t42 is scheduled for may, with 15". But it's going to be heavier - ~ .6-.7 lbs... too much I think!

I thought I saw it to be around 5.5 lbs for the one with the 15" screen.

I am wondering, is there a T4X series that is going to come out with the newer ATI chips 9600/9700? Even though the target of the T40's are for business people. Nevertheless I hope one does come out with a lower price than the FIREGL T2.

I've heard more about a T50 coming out sometime before the end of the year. Supposedly will have Dothan, DDR2, multiformat DVD burner, etc etc. Then again these were probably just rumors (ive seen little things here and there on forums, but sorry i dont have links offhand).

i believe the t42 will sport a 1.7ghz dothan.
