    Yes, and no mention of when the X301/etc will be updated either.

    I'm pretty sure from all the roadmaps for Lenovo leaked months ago the W700 will get an update in February/March instead. No idea about the X series.

    The clock is ticking for me to get a classic ThinkPad to last me a few years while I find a good-quality newer laptop. :rolleyes:

    An additional battery along with the main one. (My 20 cell batteries)
    HP and Dell offer that for awhile, I'm glad that Lenovo finally offers it now.

    You can get one, it's not that bad. I got mine for $65.
