New Lenovo X301?

Hi all,

Does anyone know that Lenovo will offer X301 with a new 2010 cpu soon?

Thanks,
Drew

 

Never seen any detailed info about that one, tho its confusing that it was on leaked roadmaps but with the same model number, i.e. X301 and not 302/310, so i for example have no idea if it is going to be refreshed, never thought about it and it looks like no one did so either

 

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. oh well i really like the x301 but i like to see some speed boost

I also eyeing the Sony new Z but i think it kinda hot since Sony doesnt offer any LM or UM version

 

Oh I'd kill for an update for x301 now. It's been one and a half yrs, the cpu is getting really old.

With x200 being 30% faster than x301, and x201 being 30-50% faster than x200, the x201 series is like 50-90% faster than x301.

x201 is now the actual flagship (or maybe t410s?), but not x301 anymore.

12 inch is just too small for me now. sigh

 

Same here
12 is little too small for me 13 is perfect i can accept 14 but still 13 is just perfect
current X301 cpu is agingly slow i would like to see some i5 i7 with LM in it

 

I posted the same question a few months back about when the updated X301 will be released. I guess from what I gathered is that the X301 was priced so high that it was never a really profitable item, so I supposed Lenovo will not replace it with anything. That, and the fact that the X301's refresh was not in the lenovo road-map leads me to beleive that the 13" form factor is dead unfortunately, becuase I love my X301, and would love to see a new X310/302, etc. But at this point, doesn't look like its gonna happen any time soon.

 

Oh.. i guess i heading to Sony Vaio Z but im not in the rush ill just wait till it drop in price or the X301 surface

 

sony vaio z is way too expensive (but hey, what else is new for sony products?), given their hardware, i'd say $1100 is normal, and $799 could be a deal. XD

Well, x301 isn't cheap either, which is why the $799-MS-store deal a while ago was so tempting----it instantly went expired when everybody just saw the deal.

My roommate's gf has an earlier version of z, and the screen cracked, so be cautious.

 

Hi all,
This may or maynot be helpful.
I was checking out the australian lenovo website, as I am thinking of buying the x301 but also aware of the new x201s and x201.

There is no option of buying the X301 now. Just everything from x100e to X201s. Whereas, other countries still have x301.

I wonder whether this is a sign that they are phasing out the x301 ( ie, never on the "road-map" )

Bit disappointing, b/c, I want to have a 12-13inch notebook with a inbuilt DVD drive reader ( for work ).

Hope it helps.

Australian Lenovo was selling the brand new X301 about 3 months ago for around $1799.

If you live in Melbourne, then you may want to take a look at this machine.

Speaking of the X301, I noticed on the US site, that it now STARTS at like $2100+ USD. I guess it's becuase the 64GB SS HD is no longer an option, and just comes standard with the 128GB SSD. But still, that's withOUT a CD drive, just the travel bezzle.
Oh well, I'm VERY glad I snagged up my X301 when I did.

 

Thats expensive! im in canada and with these specs (below) it's $2069.25cad plus tax ofcourse and free shipping

*i choose 3cell cuz i dont like it stick out i want it to be perfect

 

The x301 refresh probably going to happen sometime next year the roadmap didn't indecate an update

The likelihood of Lenovo update the x301 without change the model number is very slim.

EDIT:
But then again the Edge 14 and 15 is not on this map, or V series

T410 is thin and light?????

 

Ha! well i havent place an order yet cuz my Sony Vaio Z still kicking ill wait.. and wait haha hopefully not too long
T410 is consider thin but im not sure about light.. i guess it's about how you want to classify it
