Lenovo ThinkPad X1 shows up online, looks freakishly thin

ThinkPad aficionados mourning the lack of the X300 series of ultraportable laptops may need something mighty fine to peer forward to within the near future. A ThinkPad X1 has shown up at Swiss e-tailer Tell IT systems and other online locations, replete with a 2.5GHz Core i5-2520M CPU, a 160GB SSD, a 13.3-inch Gorilla Glass screen, and as you will see, a profile thin enough to rival the likes of the Samsung Series 9 and Apple MacBook Air . The X1 is alleged to be 21.5mm thick, so it doesn’t quite match those crazy cats, but — provided we’re not gazing a very elaborate hoax here — it’ll still be the thinnest ThinkPad by far when it launches. One 8GB stick of RAM, an SDXC card reader, and a 1366 x 768 resolution fill out the list of salient specs, while a value of two,585 CHF sits alongside a promised delivery date of May 20th on Tell IT’s website. You’ll discover a couple more images of Lenovo’s purported new bread slicer after the break.
