    Hi,

    Is there a way to find out what models are Lenovo planning to come out in the near future ? I really like T420, but hear bad things about the screen. So, I am waiting for a newer model with a better screen.

    Thanks.

    You can look up Lenovo's tabook, but right now all models are current...probably won't see anything until next year.

    Usually around January.
    It'll be Ivy bridge, probably still nvidia, probably little or no chassis changes because 16:9 will last for a good long cycle in the industry.
    Ideally it'll have the X100e style keyboard and an improved touchpad.

    Realistically, it'll probably have the same of both.

    But it's highly dependant on Intel's product cycle. Ivy Bridge was delayed until spring of 2012, from late 2011.

    that is about the average, obviously they can delay and move forward the release depending on parts availability.

    and unfortunately Intel CPU is what drives the product cycle in the PC industry, sad but true... so you are correct Roger.
