CES 2010: Sweet New ThinkPads from Lenovo

I assume most people reading my site are up on the fact that I'm a huge fan of ThinkPad laptops and always have been. Basically, there's ThinkPad and then there's everything else.

Not surprisingly, ThinkPad maker Lenovo has some sweet new machines on tap for this week's CES. And this morning, they announced a few of them. Check out these incredible looking ThinkPads.
