Lenovo Thinkpad Z60 Series Information

your a couple of days late, most sites had coverage on this 2 days ago....

not to rag or anything, just letting u know
 
Thanks pookguy88, I did notice that today. I'm going to SMACK my Lenovo contact, hehe 😉

However if you compare our info to everyone else's, personally I think its a lot more complete

Revisit the news, it was updated earlier with pricing and some other interesting tidbits 😀
 
from the linked article: "the first Thinkpad generation to be more consumer oriented."

lemme translate: this series will be worlds apart from the T-series Thinkpads you all know and love. The Z-series will be competing w/ the Inspiron line of Dell and will be every bit as crappy.

:disgust:

Um, thanks for your........expert opinion 😕

BTW, if you check the updated article I clarified that while it has consumer-ish features, it is still SMB oriented. My original impression from Lenovo was that this was consumer oriented, I was mistaken and it is definitely aimed at SMB customers.
 
Finally it's good to know that Lenovo, isn't going to ruin the Thinkpad brandname by some kiddish design, It's more modern yet not flashy HAIL LENOVO.
BTW I love that titanium like cover I wish they would release one for the R 50e so that I can renforce that ABS plastic of mine lol.

oh gawd.. lighten-up, Francis - I was joking.. sorta. - fyi: I support Thinkpads and am anxiously waiting to see the product evolution past the existing IBM engineered T-series. Whether or not Lenevo continues the excellence-in-design IBM started is still very much the unanswered question in the corp. support arena.. not doubtful mind you (I'm optimistic) but a wait-and-see stance is definitely warranted. ? if the fix/repairs/replacement numbers were reflected in your P&Ls/reviews I think you?d be a little cautious as well.

I definitely agree there, I"m interested to see how Lenovo turns out. However I must say that I don't think the Z60 is entirely a Lenovo design, I'd imagine IBM did a bunch of work on it before hand 🙂

I agree since I know that the IBM Lenovo deal icluded some predesigned Thinkpads , but it seems to me that Lenovo will not dare to fck it up. or they will feel the heat from every Thinkpad enthusiast out there.
 
I don't see the LED on the screen, anyone notice that from the pic? beside that, I would like the window key not be there instead.
 
LED on the screen? You mean the set of LED's that are directly below the LCD showing WiFi, caps lock, power, battery, etc? Those are still there, and they added a row of LED's down the left side of the machine although I'm not sure what those indicate.
