    Just checking the Lenovo site, the x201 tablet has been removed. The i7 options for the standard x201 have been removed, but you can still configure an i7 with a t410 and t510.

    Oh that's right, it did. It looks like a big shortage of the low voltage i7's, and a smaller shortage with the standard i7's.

    maybe you're right!

    i figured it might because of too-bad sales with x201s/x201t.... i guess 90%+ sales go to the regular x200, too few people bought x201s/x201t, then lenovo decided to cancel those products :)

    Rumor is new Macbooks are on the way... perhaps Intel can't keep up with demand.
