New ThinkPads: Rogue, Oasis, Santana (?)

Does anybody know some infos about ""ThinkPad Rogue", "ThinkPad Santana" and "ThinkPad Oasis"? I found those names on this Twitter account: https://twitter.com/Rich__Henderson He also posted a picture, showing unknown ThinkPads:

See those in the middle (under and over the X1 Carbon, they apparently have no logo on them). He also has already a ThinkPad Helix with him. He also posted:

"@w4ffl3 @lenovo Just another day demonstrating great ThinkPad products to Fortune 500 companies. "

According to annother post of him, he has the following ThinkPads with him:
"ThinkPad Tablet 2, T430, X230, X1 Carbon, Rogue, Oasis, Santana, ThinkPad Helix, T430u."

On this picture we can see TPT 2, X230, ThinkPad Helix, Unknown, X1 Carbon, Unknown, T430u, T430

Are these "Unknown"-ones next generation ThinkPads?

 

Well, these are either codenames for normal next-gen ThinkPads or the funny next-gen TPs with the funny names. I'm sure lead_org can clarify when he gets around.

 

No one told me about this.

I am guessing this will be the new code name for the new ThinkPad T series, L series and maybe W series replacements... as said before Lenovo is switching to these new naming schemes. Not sure why, but maybe they want the laptop to be more easily recognised by the normal consumers.

But these names do sound lot like car names. It will be a whole new ball game for Lenovo in 2013 (if the Mayan prediction doesn't come true about the 2012 been the end of the world... LOL).

P.S. How did you dig up such details from these obscure twitter account?

 

Don´t know. I cheated.

Maybe it is a codename, maybe not. We will see... (p.s. have you seen this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/len...nomenclature-think-products.html#post8995958?)

 

^^^ lol. Some of us are on our Winter Breaks. Looks like you are still researching for a presentation or end of semester report

 

the top one is the helix?

 

I think the third from the top is the Helix. It's the one with the small red dot on the left.

 

you are right. the top one must be the thinkpad tablet 2.

 

Why can't we just have our T/W/x series tablets and not give them new fangled names?

 

Just imagine in a massive corporation that you about to purchase a "ThinkPad Rogue". I mean I don't think that particular name is fitting in a serious business environment, I'm pretty sure they can come up with better ones.
