    Although the Lenovo main pages for Thinkpad xx-series state "Select models ... feature new ThinkPad 11n Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless technology" this option is not yet available in the actual configuration selections. Since they say "Thinkpad 11n" and not "Intel 11n" I wonder if the up and coming 11n option will be an Atheros AR5008 chipset (as I've always preferred the Atheros wireless chipset family vs. Intel, I hope so..)

    More than likely Lenovo will have an Intel 11N because of the Centrino package.
