Did you reed the article? It's a review. The conclusion is that these newer machines coming from Lenovo DO hold well to the ThinkPad brand IBM established. I had my misgivings about Lenovo, but I for one wouldn't mind having one of their new notebooks.

Was the X60 designed during IBM control, or under Lenovo management? The fact that it reached production under Lenovo doesn't answer that. I doubt that many people care who *made* it, what matters is who *designed* it.

My take on it is that it's too soon to tell what kind of job Lenovo is doing in keeping together the design team. The X60 was probably already in the pipeline before the change in management, so we might not see the Lenovo influence until the next model.

Hello,

What i said is the [XTAR]-60 serires are designed by the same who designed the other thinpads.

Lenovo has created the 3000 family notebooks for example, the C-series.

Those are Lenovo made AFAIK.

slds.

Intel GMA9xx are not that bad, I would say that they are equivalent of GeForce FX5200. If Vista won't run on that then Microsoft is really doomed. And remember that this is a laptop - energy saving is very important and Intel's graphics chipsets are very power-efficient.

Not to mention that both XGL and AIGLX, the two solutions for accelerated desktop with special effects on linux both work *very well* with all the intel integrated video cards (i8xx and i9xx series, whatever).

It can be done. If Vista does not, well, shame on MS :-)

(I assume most OSNews readers have seen at least the .avi released by Novell, which shows a lot of cool effects that match and in some cases already surpass what Vista is doing. And that's with an alpha project, with only a handful of animation/graphics plugins)
