The Thinkpad 2016 Skylake Lineup w/ ETA (T460/460p/460s, P70/50/40YOGA, X1 Yoga, X1 Tablet + more)

We have Skylake versions of all the normal Thinkpads. Got the expected revisions of the mainstream thinkpads (T series). X1 tablet seems Surface Book copy. Got new workstations, now with P prefix instead of W. The Thinkpad Yoga 14 with Skylake and a 940 is already out on Best Buy (link below).

hmm might get the p50 to replace my W541 one for myself. Thoughts?

Pretty much annual refreshes as planned. Intel doesn't launch their dual-core ULV sort of things until after CES then all the thin sleek notebooks pop out.

 

So the X260 is exactly the same as the 240/250? Not thinner, no wireless charging, no usb type-c, ect? Dissapointing if so.

 

The P50s might be interesting...

 

The chassis probably didn't get that much thinner, but battery life probably improved from skylake. USB type-C probably with come with it being at such a high price point. Pretty sure wireless charging isn't going to make it though. Wouldn't really upgrade if you have a Haswell/Broadwell model.

 

Yeah. Looks like the refresh of the W550s. Will probably be a great laptop for a long time as it comes with the new M1000M series workstation GPUs. Those have a really long time before they get superceded. Trackpad had slight modifications in placement. Probably lighter as well and more battery life

I ordered a W541 on sale off ebay so not in any hurry haha.

 

I'm guessing it'll be the M600M instead as to not cannibalize sales and also to reduce cooling/power requirements. But at least for Maxwell, they're all GDDR5 and start off at 2GB, the only thing changing are CUDA cores.

You're right. I think though they probably will have the option for the M1000M, even for the P50S version, since the 45W power requirement should be passable. The normal P50 will definitely have that option.

 

I assume the T560 will still have the off-center trackpad, so that's out for me.

Has anyone seen any details on the T460x models? I'm hoping we'll see a variant with a good (IPS or similar) display, discrete GPU or Iris graphics and a docking connector.

 

Depending on how they use the S-for-slim idea, it could be limited and closer to a bigger workstation ultrabook like the X1 Carbon competing against the Precision 5510 and some of the Zbook 14/15 ultrabooks. I could see the M1000M as an option too but 15W is a big power gap in the mobile sector and might not jive with their concept.

 

I posted it wrong. The M1000M is a 40 watt GPU so the difference would be 10 watts. But the k620m in the w550s is 30 watts so I suppose your right, the option likely won't appear.

Anyone interested in the E560? Why?

E560 with touchscreen option would have been perfect.

Thankfully E560 still has VGA

 

It's already mid November and not a peep from Lenovo about the P70 (or the more juicy and attractive P50), what gives?!

I've been looking forward to a laptop with 64GB of RAM that _doesn't_ weight 7LB+ and is in a 15.6" form factor for quite a while now! The P50 at 5.5~ish pounds sound just about right !
