The tablet version of Lenovo's ThinkPad X200 laptop, sensibly named the X200t, was photographed in the wild, looking pretty much like an X200 with a swiveling screen. (That means it's also awfully similar to Lenovo's last tablet, the X61t.) Tablets don't really rock our world, but the X200's form factor and build quality should mean the X200t is also a solid machine. [GottaBeMobile via Engadget]

Lenovo's ThinkPad W700 is a 17-inch behemoth that's the first notebook ever with a built-in Wacom digitiser. Designed for professional use in industries such as graphic design, photography and CAD, the digital tablet lets you manipulate images in programs like Photoshop without any extra gear. In addition, the 3.6kg notebook features a professional grade, WUXGA screen with 400 nit brightness (it's actually stunning) and an auto colour-calibration sensor that lets you adjust display settings on the fly. Except for the fact it runs Vista, it's like the perfect pro photographer's workstation.

Well, look at what's hiding out in the spec sheet for the X200 UltraBase docking station: a listing for a ThinkPad X200 tablet. The X200 is a perfect size for a tablet, and it'd solve our slight anxiety over just having the nub as an input. If it had some capacitive multi-touch like Dell's Latitude XT in addition to being bulletproof like ThinkPads ought to be, consider us sold (if it's not, you know, some insane price).

Get your orders in now, because you won't see a 128 GB SSD going for these prices, well, anywhere for several years--yet alone inside the tasty 12.1" Thinkpad X200. Yes, you're seeing it correctly--that's subtract US$70 from the total, which comes to US$1,434 with the mistake. Also notice the 64 GB SSD going for a real-world US$830 premium. No word on how IBM will handle the mistake of course, but if you were planning on buying an X200 anyway, might as well give this a try and play dumb. UPDATE: Party's over, unfortunately. The 120GB SSD option has been yanked.

Lenovo officially announced its Centrino 2-based X200 ultraportable notebook today, confirming what we have known for a while now. Namely, that it's the smallest member of the X-family (12.1-inch screen, 0.8-inches thin) and very powerful. Powered by the new Centrino 2 platform, it's got a full arsenal of wireless communication interfaces (including WiMax, WWAN with GPS and Ultra-Wide Band for peripherals), yet it's a slight 1.9kg, a hair less than its older brother or perceived competitor. (No optical drive helps there.) And it starts at a much more affordable US$1199. But where the hell is the trackpad?!

We broke the news on the X200's specs but here's the first photo. Looks like a Thinkpad. (Minus the trackpad, as Engadget notes.) [51nb.com via Engadget]

A few months back, we broke that Lenovo would capitalise on the success of the X300 by giving it a proper family. Here's a first look at the X300's little brother, the X200. There are no official specs at this time—you can see our original intel on the laptop here—but it appears to be 11ish-inches and packing fun red and blue icons. Here's the blurry model number shot for all you conspiracy theorists to enjoy:

A few months back, we broke news on Lenovo's ultra-thin, ultra-functional X300 laptop. Now we've gotten an update on what the company's been up to during the interim. All of their lines are seeing a major refresh, but the biggest news is that starting this September, the famous X300 will have a family.

Here's an interesting bit: The Lenovo x300 almost had the old IBM butterfly keyboard of old. This detail and others were revealed in a Businessweek cover story on the ultrathin, quickly being recognised as the antithesis to the Apple MacBook Air. The piece has a lot of other interesting background, like the above info graphic of a teardown with weigh for each component. Also, it nearly had a 10-inch screen.
