Lenovo Laptop News
Giving My Mom an EdgeMy dad is an avid user of his ThinkPad. Some time ago I got him a 15? T61p on sale and he?s been thrilled with it. He surfs the web almost nightly while watching Fox News and sometimes doesn?t go to bed until the battery runs down, which thanks to Power Manager, can be a [...]
Odds and EndsI have had a lot going on post-CES. Here is what I am thinking about these days:
AC/DC Combo Adapter
A few months we switched from the Slim AC/DC combo adapter to the next generation ULTRAslim AC/DC Combo Adapter. Our team made a lot of improvements.

CES Wrap UpAn internal assignment to consider the implications of competitor CES announcements with respect to Lenovo?s future strategy got me thinking about the implications of CES 2010. As a result, you get an unasked for bonus post.

ThinkPad EDGE and X100eIn my previous post I mentioned that we?d have offerings for those who wanted a ThinkPad in something other than a black, rectangular box. We have two of them which announced yesterday: the ThinkPads EDGE and X100e systems.
In introducing these systems, we wanted to extend the appeal of ThinkPad while offering something that looks different [...]
CES ? New ThinkPad RoundupI realize that many readers of this blog are first and foremost ThinkPad T Series fans, so how could I not talk about the new T Series first?

CES 2010Mark Hopkins has written a nice preview post of CES 2010 over on Lenovo Connections. I will be joining about 100 of my colleagues at CES starting tomorrow, January 4.

IdeaCentre D400 Home ServerI am retiring yet another venerable workhorse this week.
