Yes, "The Religion of Peace" has an agenda, a very obvious one, and they don't attempt to hide it. They don't attempt to hide it? Then why does no one know who is responsible for this site? There is zero transparency when it comes to this. The person who created this site is hiding - probably becau...

ie end of february?

Right. MWC is from the 24th to the 27th of February.

Yes. Press contact has told me that they will likely be announced sometime around MWC this year.

When is Lenovo going to release Ice Lake versions of the X and T series Thinkpads? It is pretty safe to assume that this isn't happening, ever. Ice Lake isn't available as a vPro version, which is important for business laptops. Thus, all ThinkPads with Intel CPUs will rely on Comet Lake this year.

And Acer goes 3:2 on its highest end Spin 5.

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Spin ... 311.0.html

On the pictures, it doesn't look like a 3:2 screen. There is so much top and bottom bezel.

with dell going 16:10 and lenovo itself, there is more chance to have thinkpad move to 16:10 as well. what are the chance of that happening in the 2020 lineup, at least for some models? I agree that chances are higher now than a few years ago, but at least for this year, I strongly doubt anything w...

Those thin models like T490 have crappy trackpoint, short key travel and bad cooling. I think your Matebook 13 has much shorter key travel (just 1 mm vs. 1.7 mm on the T490) and its CPU performance is also worse than the T490. And it does not have a TrackPoint at all. But I guess a nice aspect rati...

There is even no [Fn]-ed + arrows option other brands (HP, MS Surface) have. Current ThinkPads do offer this functionality. FN + arrow left replicates the Home key, FN + arrow right replicates the End key function. Of course, there are still dedicated Home/End keys in the 6th keyrow as well, so use...

Pretty sure you can get good USB-to-Gigabit adapters, and the USB-C flavors will become more widespread as the USB-A connector is phased out. Also, all current ThinkPads still contain a Gigabit Ethernet chip and have a native Ethernet output, even if they don't have the full-size RJ45 port. So it d...

Another year, another CES thread (following the Lenovo CES 2019 and Lenovo CES 2018 threads). What major excitements await us ? The name change to T14, X13 etc , and ... well not sure much else of note is going to happen apart from the usual minor feature / component bumps ? Yeah, mostly I think th...

Expensive TN vs cheap TN. There was a better breed of TN panels used in some high end models. Another example of this is the T520/W520 FHD screen, which had a great contrast and color gamut. Its viewing angles were not quite as good as IPS, but a lot better than cheap TN screens that were used in th...

If you think that those millions of people have come to work for Germany and improve its economy, you are very naive Nah, because I am not in the generalizing game, unlike others. The beautiful thing about people is that they are different from one another. And if you have a million people, you hav...

Let's wait few weeks to get the whole truth. Lol, this Nazi even filmed the whole thing himself and published it on Twitch. But sure "there has to be a conspiracy, because it has to be a Muslim".

Instead, I loathe what I've been forced to buy I don't think anyone forced you to buy anything, unless someone was holding a gun to your head and made you buy a laptop.

The original X1 was like a T420s but stuck with a chiclet keyboard, 1366x768 screen, and glossy Gorilla Glass layer. Not quite. The original ThinkPad X1 was a very interesting experiment, as it was the first time after the X301 that Lenovo tried to put out a more "high end" flagship series. So real...

I bet you it's called Ice Lake because Intel's progress in CPU performance is as stagnant as an Ice Lake. Haha :mrgreen: That is funny for two reasons: 1. In reality, Ice Lake promises to be the biggest Intel CPU update in years 2. Ice Lake will be the first generation with the new "Sunny Cove" arc...

8th Gen CPU though? I'd expect x90 series to use newer CPUs. Unless Intel is releasing yet another '8th Gen' iteration. That is the case. Since Intel had to postpone the release of 10 nm "Ice Lake" CPUs to late 2019/early 2020, they released a stop-gap measure called "Whiskey Lake". These newer CPU...

Granted it can look like it, if you are sensitive to prejudice, but I do not believe the TP forum members are of those prejudices. Considering that someone in this very thread posted the nonsense "great replacement" right-wing conspiracy theory, I have my doubts about it. There are many ethical pro...

If a policymaker has data about a certain group of people, it isn't really a generalization in my mind. For example: Migrants from the Maghreb states (Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya) are very high up in the crime statistic. Now, it would be a generalization (or specialization, call it what you wil...

This is not correct. It is correct, because it says "hardly any", which means that there have only been a few. I have zero sympathy for such scumbags. Oh, I can sympathize with people who seek a better life very easily. Of course, using the asylum system for that is wrong, so sending people back wh...

Rumor is that this years generation is delayed because of Intel's supply issue (source: Lenovo retailer who posts in the German ThinkPad Forum). That is why the X1 models will only be released mid year and why the other models have not been announced yet. These models will definitely get announced a...

Stop trying to deny there is a problem. Or in which world do you live? I am not denying any problems though, I just dislike the nefarious generalizations and crazy conspiracy theories that people like you are peddling, which in turn leads to people like the German man in Bottrop to become violent a...

Actually, no, you are wrong. It is in the case of the incident in Bottrop that the media reported that this man was probably mentally ill, because he apparently had was in some clinic once. Meanwhile, in the Amberg case, there is a massive campaign on social media to instrumentalize this incident. N...
