15 hours of battery life on a standard 9-cell battery?! If those crazy numbers prove to be true...

15 hours of battery life on a standard 9-cell battery?! If those crazy numbers prove to be true...

And 30 hours with the slice! I was impressed when Dell's E6500 offered 19 hours with a slice ... but 30 hours?

15 and 30 hour battery?!? this is nuts!

old news? I don't get it. There are threads in the Lenovo forum on these already.

Today the laptops were "officially" announced, rather than little tidbits forumgoers gathered from various places around the web.

T420 looks very tempting... nice specs and that battery life is ridiculous if it's true.

Nice Prices too.
If the prices are true in USD it is really worth considering.
Edit:

Pricing for the T420s, T420, T520, L420, L520 and W520 starts at approximately $1399, $1029, $999, $899, $899 and $1529 respectively.

This is the real pricing, I knew it too good to be true.

Those graphic card names dont tell much, but I'm having a bad feeling that in graphic power they wont get stronger then the current 8540 elitebook series. I guess those quadro 1000 and 2000 are a renamed 800 and 1800. And t420 and t520 having the same card points in this direction as well. I would like to buy a sandy bridge business notebook (15 would be better, but for graphics it might have to be 17, or if all fails I grab a last hp 8740w) with strong graphics early summer. It seems after t500 the thinkpads got behind in this respect. And first leaking information here in the forums are showing the new 8560p will get a fancy new look I dont want a shiny/fancy gaming rig or mac lookalike. Current thinkpad and elitebook looks are what I like. I love when people dont even notice I have a new notebook. Seemingly dell m4600 is my last hope. Or it would be as dell does not sell m4500/m6500 in my country...

Nice! Looks like somebody finally had the intelligence to put Sandy Bridge together with a decent battery. I've been waiting for this ever since I read the AnandTech Sandy Bridge article. The prices also look very reasonable.

That said, what are the graphics cards? They're not listed on Nvidia's site.
