    1. I rewrote what Lenovo wrote, so I didn't say it. ;)

      While Lenovo said that the X230 Laptop had "up to 2nd gen Intel Core i7" there are some reviews stating Ivy Bridge. Lisa Gade at Mobile Tech Review mentioned Ivy Bridge - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iVO3oPHJDqY
      X230 Laptop - http://www.jessebandersen.com/2012/05/lenovo-thinkpad-x230-tablet-laptop.html

      Another interesting detail is that the X230's page said that it could have "up to 8GB RAM", while the X230T's said it could have "up to 16GB RAM". There may be some errors on the page.

  3. It is very disheartening that Lenovo got rid of the traditional Thinkpad keyboard for a chiclet keyboard.

    1. They may be truly trying to improve their keyboards (several reviews are positive about the new keyboard) Another factor is just the business cycles, companies need to produce "new" stuff to compete in a cluttered market. And one more theory is that Lenovo mass produces keyboards, to minimize costs, and they fit this same keyboard in multiple systems.

      The previous generation systems did have a very solid keyboard, lets hope this new one is as durable.
