While we’re short on formal announcements, various retailers are displaying Lenovo ThinkPad X61 wares with Intel’s latest chips inside. A Penryn T8100-powered X61 is on MacMall with 1GB of RAM and a 120GB HDD for $1,550, while a T8300 version goes for $1,610. Specs are otherwise the same as existing ThinkPads, and no tablet version is offered. It’s starting to feel like laptop manufacturers are stringing us along here, instead of offering next-gen laptops to match Intel’s next-gen chips, but it’s still early in the game, and maybe we’re just paranoid. In other news, Lenovo has begun delivering SUSE Linux-based ThinkPad R61 and T61 laptops, with prices starting at $949 — quite the improvement on 2006’s “efforts.”
