THE Tseries is better than X series so how about a t300?

what about it folks? I like the T series better than the X. Its better built and has better crash protection (not a car I know!) than the X, so why can't Lenovo make us a smaller T a, T300? Whats stopping them; I mean its not like they have the X300 anymore, as far I can tell the shrink in size by an inch would be eminently doable, no? thanks, j

See T400s / T410s.

400s, no, I think many of us would prefer a smaller machine than that. Even a 12 inch screen. Not 4 pounds, more like 3 lbs. And again I want the new technology of the t-series not the old tech of the x. It really would be little problem for lenovo to engineer. j

What do you mean by "old tech of the X"?
The only differences between the same generations X and T tech i can see (e.g. X201 vs. T410/T510) are:
1) There is no ultrabay in X (the reason being small footprint and weight
2) There is no discrete/hybrid GPU option in X (the reason being small footprint and weight and low power consumption).
3) There are only low-voltage CPUs in -s models of X (e.g. X201s) (the reason being even smaller weight and even lower power consumption). However, you can always go with the regular model (e.g. X201), it has pretty the same CPU features as T410/T510 has.
What do you want from "smaller machine with a 12 inch screen and more like 3lbs"? Top notch GPU and ultrabay with DVD burner?

I'd love to see a T310, 13.3" WXGA+ LED, 160GB SSD, ultrabay, with optional discrete graphics, with eSATA port and HDMI out.

SSD's should be optional like they've always been. Discrete graphics is a bit hard to cram into a 13.3" without serious thermal issue considerations.

DisplayPort is more useful, but I have yet to see something exploit it to the fullest (where are the USB hubs over DP monitors?!?). HDMI's a bit unlikely for the T-series as a business line.
