Anyone with industry knowledge know what might be in store for the T and W 500 succsessor?
Core i3 and i7 CPUs are probable, possibly even a quad. But beyond this, any speculation of graphics cards, etc?

I read a news where lenovo is thinking of a new T500s. And it is more than obious, lenovoblogs.com says there'll be more thinkpads coming out this sommer/fall when Windows 7 arrives.
The new Dock Series 3 is the replacement for the older Dock that supports the T500 series. The dock Series 3 Plus has a gpu installed, most likely the "switchable" gpu from the dedicated T400 / T500 / W500 models. Therefore I think a new T500s comes with integrated gpu. The W500 then should come with a switchable gpu option to distinguish itself from the T500.
Regarding the cpu I hope the T500s comes with the same very cool low volt cpus like the T400.

The product description (
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 72873.html) doesn't mention any dedicated gpu at all so i think the only function of this ominous "video-controller" ist to enable two of the digital-outs at a time. But we'll see ...
@topic: Has anyone heard of rumors about an upcoming t400 tablet? No, i'm not kidding - this is a serious question!
. I really heard some people mention that lenovo is thinking about a 14.1" tablet (based on the t400s, i assume)?
