+1 . too bad they didnt capitalize and as the ipod, iphone, ipad ..apple gets the credit for innovator. But it does wake up the industry & good news for us consumers.

[ThinkPadToday]

The truth is, that as a product range and a brand, ThinkPad, both under IBM and now with Lenovo has been one of the most innovative in the history of IT

@ap1970 That doesnt mean they didnt do it first.

ThinkPad 1992

IdeaPad 2008

iPad 2010

Come to think of it even the iPad's name draws from the Thinkpad, before its release people though it would be called the iSlate

[ap1970]

I hear everything you are saying however the Lenovo has a lot of bad reviews about either defective products and customer support. I believe that a good idea just is good as it lasts. So please, the the market sake, direct your company to sustain the high pricing and performance advertized.

@jeremyshaw1 Yes of course. I was assuming he was comparing processors that arent similar

[jeremyshaw1]

@clubpenguin1help it's almost everything when comparing similar processors (L3 cache also counts depending on the architecture).

@hcdragonfly Frequency means nothing
