    slightly distant friend. i havent seen it.

    is the thinkpad edge out yet? would anyone like some hands on info from a fellow forum member? im guessing thats what it is. her dad works for them or something.
    anyway just thought id put that out there.. the most interesting thing i heard about it was that it has an eye reader thing for login... or whatever those are called. lol

    Edge is not really impressive...I saw it at CES and looked over the reviews.

    the only thing that really impressed me so far from Lenovo's recent releases is the ideapad U1.... so far it makes iPad look pale by comparision.
