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’s ThinkVision P40w is the world’s first Thunderbolt 4 monitor

Lenovo is ushering in Intel's new Thunderbolt 4 era with the ThinkVision P40w, the world's first monitor to support the connectivity standard. With its "Think" pedigree, the ThinkVision P40w is designed for professionals. Its ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio allows for multiple opened windows to be spread across the monitor's 39.7-inch display.

With Thunderbolt 4 support, the ThinkVision P40w is designed for Windows 10 systems running on Intel's 11th Gen processor platform, including Tiger Lake-powered laptops and the upcoming Rocket Lake silicon designed for desktops. Apple's new Mac systems powered by the iPhone maker's custom M1 processors also support Thunderbolt 4, so the monitor should work with the latest Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and 13-inch MacBook Pro on the market today.

Lenovo ThinkPad T480s vs. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon

Which ThinkPad is better: The X1 Carbon or the T480s?

Lenovo's ThinkPad is one of the most iconic lines in notebook history, going back decades and representing one of the most recognizable business brands around. They're conservatively designed and well-built, and they offer a few specific design cues that appeal to a specific niche of users. And two models from the range stand out for around $1,000: The ThinkPad T480s and ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

We've pitted the two against each other in multiple categories, taking into account the improvements Lenovo made with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon over last-gen's model. The T480s received a refresh in 2019, too, in the form of the T490. Lenovo has changed its naming scheme since, replacing this range with the more appropriately named T14 and T15.

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.
