Given that HP has awesome IPS screen in their 15" and 17" mobile workstations and that Dell has even better IPS screen in its M4600 laptop, - I think we have a pretty good chance that next ThinkPad mobile workstation, say "project w600" will have it, on top of whatever latest hardware, and probably Win 8 by then.
Fingers crossed, it will be released in about a year or so. Standard release schedule for T/W models is about 1-1.5 years
Next Thinkpad Mobile workstation?
Re: Next Thinkpad Mobile workstation?
In the last years, standart release schedule is once a year on spring (shortly after new intel cpus release).Dimitri_P wrote:Given that HP has awesome IPS screen in their 15" and 17" mobile workstations and that Dell has even better IPS screen in its M4600 laptop, - I think we have a pretty good chance that next ThinkPad mobile workstation, say "project w600" will have it, on top of whatever latest hardware, and probably Win 8 by then.

Also, with the current lenovo naming scheme, W600 would indicate 16" workstation from 2009. What you're waiting for is probably W521/W530 and W730.
Lifebook P1032 (1024*600 8.9") => Averatec AV1000 (WXGA 10.6") => Kohjinsha SH6 (1024*600 7.2") => Sharp M4000 (WXGA 13.3") => X200-AFFS, dead => X200s-AFFS, later -PVA => X220 4290RV5 + Intel 310 80GB, T420s 4173KSU + FHD IPS + Sandisk Z400s 128GB
