I wonder if they fixed the Optimus implementation to support more than two external LCD panels.

don't think so either. But the ivy bridge CPU should do it, so I am very curious how lenovo will implement that

Chiclet is coming.

That settles it then, time to get an x220 for the keyboard and better support in linux....

Not many changes, but we can see the chiclet-keyboard, because there is no blue Enter-key.

crosses fingers that the T520 keyboard is a 7 row chiclet.

Oh, what I forgot to write: The new ThinkPad L-Series will be available in June. It has a classic ThinkPad hinge design and it seems to be thinner than the previous L-Series.

I must have missed something. On what basis are you saying that?

This means we can expect the W530 to have a chiclet-style keyboard as well, doesn't it? Ugh.

Have the pros and cons of chiclet-keyboards been discussed somewhere? If one were really adverse to them, would buying the W520 now be the best move? What would you be giving up by not waiting?

How's the typing feeling on Chiclet?

Yes. I would expect that we will see chiclet in all new ThinkPads T/X/L/W.

The chiclet-keyboard in the X1 is good and even better than the classic keyboard of my L520.
