Confusion With Lenovo Core 2 Duo Tablet PC

Lenovoquestion After a tip from one of our GBM Forum members we reported this morning that Lenovo had released Core 2 Duo versions of the Thinkpad X60 Tablet PC. There was much rejoicing and much linking (see Engadget, Slashgear, jkOnTheRun, etc… etc…). And, as of this writing the Core 2 Duo options are still appearing on the Lenovo website. All well and good you say? Not quite.

Our sources at Lenovo have contacted us tonight and told us that this is apparently a mistake with their website and that there are no Core 2 Duo Thinkpad X60’s available as of this moment.

So, obviously there is some confusion going on at Lenovo and we are trying to track it down as best we can. We’ll update as we find out something concrete but in the meantime, somebody’s got some sp’lainin to do.

UPDATE: Apparently the Core 2 Duo options have been removed from the Lenovo site.

Wow, I love my X60 tablet, but come on, the number of missteps Lenovo has made in bringing this to market is astonishing! At this point, if they are planning an upgrade to the Core 2 Duo, they might as well fess up to it and provide an ETA. It appears the cat is out of the bag, and anyone who wants it is now going to wait before plopping down their hard earned cash anyway...

Interesting mistake I guess, but let's not draw any conclusions from it. We have no info at this point on any additional options. We'll update everyone as soon as we can though!

I was also one of the people who rejoiced when I saw the Core 2 Duo in
the X60 tablet pc, and I am now one of the diappointed. Why doesn't
Lenovo give the customer what he wants?

I have 2000 Euro in my pocket which I would like to swop (today, I might
add) for a high definition, X60 with Core2Duo, 100 GB 7200 disk, and a
built-in 3G antennae.

Unfortunately I have to grind my teeth and wait, and wait, and wait.

I wanted a core 2 duo to do more core work, too, over two core solos.

I don't know how in the heck anyone keeps the core/2/duo/solo stuff strait. I can't.

Oh, solo mio...

It's pretty simple. duo is more than solo, and 2 is more than 1 (or in this case, no number label). I think you should be able to keep it "straight" now :).

According to our sources at Lenovo, this too is a mistake, and Lenovo is not making any announcements on this model at this time. It certainly must be coming though, but we do NOT want an announcement and an ordering process without stock to fullfill it now, do we? :)
