[ltp] T60 Preview (No!!!! Not Windows Buttons!!! Take Them Away!!!!)

[Aaron Mulder]

It looks like Lenovo released the January tabook.pdf yesterday...=20
It's a little disappointing.  Only one T60 (the one on the web site, I
guess) and 3 X60 models.  Guess we'll have to wait until February for
the big guns.  :)

Anyway, I wish the stupid Windows button would go away, but I'm not
ready to condemn Lenovo.  I'm sure the Z series was in the pipeline
before IBM sold the division, and we've had a couple post-Lenovo T's
that haven't been in any way inferior.  Still, I'd buy a MacBook in a
heartbeat if they had a multibutton mouse and faster CPU (and while
I'm at it, Dell has a very nice 1920x1200 15.4" screen).  The original
T60 review said they got a 2.13 GHz model, so hopefully both Apple and
IBM will bump up the speeds soon.
