Lenovo ThinkPad X201
$1,099.00
Released March, 2010
The Pros:Under 3.5 pounds. Full sized world-famous ThinkPad keyboard. Full sized laptop SATA disk drive (2.5").
The Cons:Small trackpad. Sub-standard 'business quality' display might not impress consumers. High price compared to the T series offering - a premium for a smaller / less powerful device.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X201 is one of three configuration options for the ThinkPad X201 released in March 2010. As the base model, it features an Intel Core i5 processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 160GB SATA HDD.

special low-voltage Core i7 is actually slower than Core i5 -- improving battery life but confusing the consumer when he is expecting increased performance with a more expensive 'higher number' CPU

Would be nice if there was an option for a version without a trackpoint/larger trackpad.
