Question

ThinkPad 10 - missed release deadline?

Jul 1, 2014 4:56AM PDT

Did Lenovo miss the deadline to release their much-touted ThinkPad 10? I'd read June 30th was the drop dead date for release since it had been leaked/announced at least 6 weeks before. Too much hype from Lenovo to achieve manufacturing deadline?

The motor boat was slowed by Homeland Security. There's far too many reasons to list here so what did Lenovo tell you? Ask and tell here.

What's the real story?

Lenovo customer service just says it's not available to purchase and they can't take advance orders.

Frankly I think the Lenovo consumer web site is a confusing mess and their product naming conventions are even worse.

I've been holding out to dump my X200 laptop but I think the Surface 3 is looking better and better if Lenovo can't get their act together. Maybe they're busy integrating their new corporate acquisitions?
