The new R52's are out!

Here is something that I got from the IBM website:

New IBM ThinkPad R52 Notebook
IBM also announced today the new ThinkPad R52 notebook, available in an Express model to meet the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses. Drawing on Pentium M processors, Centrino Mobile Technology and 802.11a/b/g, Intel 802.11b connectivity, the ThinkPad R52 provides superior wireless connectivity and is the most powerful notebook in the R series. Weighing as little as 5.8 pounds and offering close to six hours of battery life, the ThinkPad R52 also offers a new ThinkPad Multi-Burner Plus Ultrabay Enhanced Drive, capable of reading and writing both CDs and DVDs.

May I ask where you are finding the R52 on IBM website. Im either blind or just not looking in the right place. Im not seeing anything in the express models area.

They are not out yet. What I mean is that IBM hasn't listed them on the website yet. What I found on the IBM website came from an article that I found on the IBM website(if you don't know).
