The guys at Lenovo aren't resting on their laurels as the world's third-largest PC maker. In fact, the Internet rumor mill is generating a little buzz this morning over some purportedly leaked specs for a new model of the company's tablet-style laptop.

GottaBeMobile.com claims someone anonymously hooked them up with full specs for the upcoming ThinkPad X60s tablet, a new entry in Lenovo's ThinkPad X series. Notable because these are among the thinnest and lightest convertible tablet PCs out there (that means their screens spin around and they can function as either a traditional laptop or a tablet), the new version seems to offer a nice bump from Pentium M processors to Intel Core Solo and Core Duo CPUs.

If this is for real, expect pricing and availability details sometime later in October.
