Lenovo’s roadmap was leaked this morning, detailing the company’s 2010 lineup of laptops and devices. The roadmap slide included several previously-unseen models like the X201 tablet and X201/X201s ultraportables, the W701 performance workstation, and the L400 and L500 mainstream notebooks. This slide doesn’t give us any real details—mostly just mini silhouetted icons of laptops and tablets—but just knowing they’re coming out this year is good enough for us.

The Inquirer points out that the L400 and L500 are entirely new additions because there’s no mention of updates to Lenovo’s current R series mainstream notebooks—so these new laptops may be supporting a whole new framework and base.

As for the rest: the X201 is most likely an upgrade of the X200 Lenovo, and the W701 performance workstation was actually leaked last November.  Engadget snagged some specs from this FCC leak last year, claiming the W701 sported a 2GHz Intel CPU, 320GB Fujitsu HDD, and a Samsung-made 17-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) display.

Hopefully more details will unravel as the month progresses.

lenovo-thinkpad-x1-tablet-versus-the-microsoft-surface-pro

Lenovo's ThinkPad line remains one of the most-recognized brands in computing, known for its solid build quality and excellent keyboards. The company has leveraged the ThinkPad name in the Windows 10 2-in-1 market, with its 360-degree convertible ThinkPad X1 Yoga and detachable ThinkPad X1 Tablet. The second generation of the latter takes on Microsoft's Surface Pro at the high end of the Windows 10 tablet market. Here, we pit the second-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet versus the Microsoft Surface Pro to see which machine is most worth its relatively high price.

Other than their basic form factor, the two machines couldn't be more different. The ThinkPad X1 Tablet is the no-nonsense, robust sedan with its iconic ThinkPad design aesthetic, and the Surface Pro is the sleek, modern sports car representing the height of Microsoft's tablet refinements. Read on to see which company's philosophy resulted in the best Windows 10 tablet.

Lenovo upgrades ThinkPad lineup with Intel; X1 Extreme Gen 3 starts at $1,749
lenovo thinkpad x1 extreme gen 2 review

Lenovo just refreshed to its mobile workstation lineup, which includes the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 laptop and the company's ThinkPad P series. In total, five ThinkPad mobile workstation models are getting the upgrade to the latest Intel 10th-generation processors and Nvidia graphics, and you'll be able to pick one up next month in July when they become available.

If you value a balance between productivity and mobility, the ThinkPad X1 Extreme will be the model you'll want. Boasting a similar silhouette from the iconic ThinkPad X1 Carbon series, the third-generation Extreme model comes with a slightly larger 15.6-inch display in various configurations ranging from a standard FHD panel to a 4K OLED touchscreen model that supports HDR 500 True Black. And at just 0.72-inches thick, the 3.75-pound Extreme looks more like a standard Ultrabook than a workstation, but don't let that fool you.
