Yesterday I heard rumors of a possible Lenovo Thinkpad netbook. At the time I decided not to report on it because as you can see above the supposed netbook has a white shell around it (as opposed the the traditional black and only black colors in the rest of the Thinkpad line). But more evidence is mounting as the folks over at Thinkpad Today are confirming a release date for the new X100e Thinkpad netbook of January 5th.
I don’t know if we can believe the release date yet, but I am beginning to believe that Lenovo will in fact at a netbook to it’s Thinkpad lineup. I’m sure there are plenty of business professionals that get tired of lugging around their 4 – 5 pound T400’s and T500’s and instead would prefer to carry a 2 pound netbook instead.
What do you think? Will we see a Thinkpad netbook?
