    Anyone taken a look at this yet? Looks like it is planned for release in April. I really like the look and specs so far, but I am not seeing anything about resolution. Is this going to remain the same standard resolution we have all seen recently 1366x768? Which would be the same as the current edge models. Or might they give us a nicer alternative, similiar to the T line?

    With a better resolution I would jump all over this machine.

    Sorry I should have been more specific. I was referring to the 420E. Which is not supposed to be released until April. I prefer it over the T just because of weight and style. From what I read it is only supposed to be around 4 lbs, with a 14 inch screen, option for switchable graphics, slot load optical drive with SB obviously.

    Just sounds right up my alley as far as power and size, but I figured they would hose the whole thing by offering only minimum HD resolution. The E series that are out now only have 1360x768.

    Err, you mean the Thinkpad Edge 420/420s? Most of the information that we currently have on that laptop and the other refreshed laptops in its family is in this thread.
