ok, thanks. Since it is still in the prototype stage, what is a ball park release date for something that is "unannounced" ? Like 3 months? or maybe 6 months to a year?

Re: T420S from CES

If there really is a t420s coming out, why wasn't it listed on Lenovo's New Product Showcase from CES 2011? The Edge laptop was listed, but not t420s....which means it might just be a rumor. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/products/new-products/?menu-id=learn¤t-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC0...

Docking Station Advice/tips

hello thinkpad fam, as I have never used a docking station before, I just have a few questions about what to do with mine. After I called thinkpad support they seem unsure too: -by the way I have a t410 1) when using the thinkpad away from docking station, do I need to turn off, close the lid or put...

Re: Poor audio from Series 3 Advanced Mini Dock Plus

If you think it is with all docking stations, why hasn't lenovo done something about this? either stop selling it and come out with a new model or stop sales and fix the static then start selling again?

Re: Poor audio from Series 3 Advanced Mini Dock Plus

With all of these threads saying how the docking station has static in the audio, do yall think that this will be the problem with all docking stations? Or do yall think that just some of the docking stations will do that? I am ordering a docking station soon

Re: Poor audio from Series 3 Advanced Mini Dock Plus

this might seem obvious to those of you who have had docking stations before, but since I have never owned a dock, let me ask this question:
does the docking station plug into the wall and charge the laptops battery while the laptop is docked?

Hi, what makes you say that you cannot live without it? What features are you referring to? I was about to purchase a docking station, just the Series 3, not the Series 3 plus. Does the series 3 have the same static as the series 3 plus?

okay guys, since everyone who posted here said the same thing about the docking station, there is obviously something to it.

Re: T410 with NVIDIA Optimus coming!?!

Unless the upcoming model (T420?) has USB 3.0 connection, it may not be worth upgrading from T410 to upcoming model (T420)... how do you know for sure that there is an upcoming T420? Obviously there will always be newer thinkpads coming up...after the t420 will be a new one and so on. But the way y...

Re: T410 with NVIDIA Optimus coming!?!

Interesting. So, to recap: There were no hardware changes. Enabling Optimus was just a matter of writing the proper software. Which wasn't yet accomplished when the T410 originally went on sale. But some of this software resides on an EEPROM chip, that while technically rewriteable, cannot be acces...

processor question and advice: new i5-560 vs older i7-620?

Hello once again thinkpad family, As I will be making a purchase soon, I pose yet another question: Which processor would you get? the new i5-560 just came out but the i7-620 has been out for a while. Do yall think that the i7-620 is worth the extra $180? here are the specs on the processors: Intel ...

right, that's what I figured, but would you wait until a new model comes out to get one or would you just get a thinkpad now?
