New Thinkpads! *drool*

Gizmodo posts some juicy rumors about coming Lenovo offerings, which will allegedly be available in early June.

There is all sorts of stuff to drool over, but as a loyal owner of a nearly three-year-old T43, I'm most interested in the freshening of the T series laptops.

It looks like the LED backlighting that found its way into the stunning (but too pricey for me) X300 will find its way into the new T series laptops also. So will a 9-cell battery that takes up the space of the old 6-cells.

And if they're available in early June, as Gizmodo suggests, that means Windows XP can still be ordered on the machine (no Vista PoS, yay!) -- and that will be about the time my T43 hits the three year mark, my warranty expires, and I was planning on looking for a new T machine anyway.

Sweet!
