    At least with other Lenovo laptops; Certain colors are only available in certain markets. For example, you could only buy a y460 with a white keyboard in Asian markets.

    Or it might just not be available yet. Look at how long it took Apple to get the white iPhone out.

    Unfortunately not.

    The Edge series is available in other colors, and the X100e series is more of an Edge than an X series.

    Odd placement for the x100e/x120e as it's better suited in the Edge line, as you said. Even more so when you consider the Edge 11. Nearly the same as those two except it has Intel instead of AMD.

    Lenovo can be one odd company at times....

    Yeah but nowadays that means only the no-fun/business X/T/W series. With, as it seems, the old x100 as exception.

    I know about the Edge and that other crap. I thought they were the "Edge" line and not the "Thinkpad" line. I guess you're saying there's an animal called "Thinkpad Edge." I suppose I could Google that. I'll take your word for it.
