Initially it was looking like March 30th or 31st from the leaked roadmap, but recently I've heard as early as early to mid next week.

Will the Japanese earthquake affect the date?

thinkpads are made in china, but i guess if there are supply problems with parts there could definitely be a slowdown in delivery.

I don't think Lenovo is using any particular parts that is exclusively made in Japan. This is one reason that most of the laptop company use more than one suppliers for their parts that is located in different geographical areas.



I don't think Lenovo is going to run out any Made In Japan parts, other than optical drive and possibly battery. But most of these parts are also produced by factories outside of Japan.



But i will be worried for the camera enthusiasts, as the some factory producing high end CMOS for DSLR are wiped out.

In the youtube video, the guy said t420s comes with a 80gb flash memory. is that SSD? can we also put a HDD in addition to that?

Yes. 80GB for the OS and apps, extra HD for additional storage. Best of both worlds.

just an fyi- I came across listings for a bunch of T420s models randomly today- though there doesn't seem to be any actual stock yet, apparently you can call for an ETA

there are some other sites that are doing just that. None in stock but have listings. Hopefully it means the new T and edge series are coming out very soon.
