Lenovo took over the PC Division in May-05, here it is about 7 months later..
RTP was an IBM design center as well as Yamato in Japan..
IBM has won many many awards for innovative designs they never brought to market..
one (of many) that they DID bring to market, the ThinkPad 701C with the butterfly keyboard, they did bring to market..
Now we have these two designs..
I wonder whether they are really an IBM inspired design or a Ledgend design put forth as Lenovo..?
Whichever is the truth or even if these are the result of a collaboration between the two new partners, my guess is that some of the features of each will wind up in real world products.
We all know that IBM had very high standards for design, manufacturing and customer support..
I hope Lenovo does in fact pick up that torch and carry on with new and innovative products which incorporate such features as the 3-D input device and the ultra thin wireless keyboard.
