AFAIK thinkpads are desgined by ibm those *60 models will be the last of that epoch, now there are the new lenovo notebooks. . . we will see if they can reach the ibm quality Thu, 23 Mar 2006 20:31:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (gdiaz) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?107318 http://www.osnews.com/thread?107318 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.

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.

Looking at the pics, I see they've added Win-keys! That is one thing I hane enjoyed about my Thinkpads is the software neutrality of them. They convey no preference for one OS over the other. Maybe they will start to sell key cap replacements for the various OSes running on them...

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.

Too bad that thing has only XGA resolution, if it had more pixels or was availalbe in 13" widescreen (like the VAIO S series), I'd be highly tempted. Small and long-lasting is great, but XGA is just not enough any more.

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) Fri, 24 Mar 2006 08:20:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (RenatoRam) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?107535 http://www.osnews.com/thread?107535 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.
