What hardware changes are expected for the next generation of the Thinkpad X series? Graphics? CPU? Harddrive? Screen/Resolution?
Anyone have any "inside" information on this?

Today people complain about HD performance and the graphics in the X40 series. Hope IBM do something about this. Or what do you think?

What I expect welll before that

good thread linmias very cool

HDD: More capasity (80 GB at least 100 maybe 120 not surprised)
More Speed (more rpm)
less noisy

RAM: More RAM capasity (at least 2 GB)
Speed RAM technology

VGA: ATI Radeon Mobility (not slipping screen when scroll mouse move
up-down)

CPU: Intel Centrino 2.0 or 2.4 Dothan or next series and if possible no fun

COMBO DRIVER: X40 has no CD-ROM driver IBM tried to design more light thinkpad and they did good job but next x40 (or x41) light and slim too but replaced CD-ROM Combo driver (with DVD-RW)

this is Amazing Machine !!!!

SOUND: Sound card is week.more power good sound

Fireware Port (X31 has)

That is definitely not going to happen.

Even worse news, read this.

I wish that there will be a docking solution available (not just the Ultrabase X4) but Dock II or something like that.

(And hoping that the Thinkpad-Series will be continued (by somebody)even if IBM really sells the PC-production to China...)

I'd like to see the best available technology, software & hardware, used and it all be bundled and made available for .99 cents...

Tell you what, let's split it 3-ways @.33 cents each, that way we can all afford one...

There is no banana, bananas are figments of your imagination. Bananas are leading you away from the light, come into the light my brother, accept the order of the oranges.

What to expect from the next "gen" X series?
