    I just got an email from Lenovo China. (I'm subscribed to their ThinkPad China list).
    It's an advertisement for a new (or reborn, depending on how you look at it) S series.

    The email has a link to this page:
    ThinkPad S

    It's 4:20am, so I'm not gonna say anything else, but looks like there are two models so far S420 and S220 born of all new materials. Take from that what you will. I have trouble navigating the all flash site.

    Going to sleep now. DISCUSS

    hmm- do you think the s420 in china= e420s in new color and the s220 in china= e220s in new color choice? ("mocha black"- looks chocolately) Of course, the S420 has an amd 6630m option- as the e420s does outside of the us.

    The original color was called "moss black". I went to look at the US lenovo website- and without fanfare, it seems that the US e420s and e220s models are now being sold in "mocha black".

    This is probably a china only product. if Lenovo is going to bring another line to the global marketplace, it risks of diluting the brand.

    I liked better the R series compared to the SL and L series. At least the R series had a choice for descrete graphics card. Intel Graphics would never compare performance to a descrete card.

    Well R got killed and your best bet is to get the T420i or T520i
