They’re here! The new ThinkPad 2012 lineup are available starting today via Lenovo.com (June 5, 2012) and we’ve got a rundown of the pricing and configuration specs for each of the new models. Each model will be available with a budget configuration that includes the second generation Intel Sandy Bridge or a slightly more expensive config that has the new Intel Ivy Bridge processor. The ThinkPad X230 has a one day sale 15% off coupon, use THINK15X at checkout to get that, so we’ll start with details of that model.
ThinkPad X230 and ThinkPad X230 Tablet
The X230 is a 12.5” screen notebook, we reviewed the X230 last week so you can see the full analysis of it there. The one recommended upgrade you should definitely make is to the IPS screen, which should cost around $50. The starting Sandy Bridge equipped X230 starts at $949 and the Ivy Bridge just $50 more at $999. For June 5th ONLY there’s a 15% off coupon, use code THINK15X to get the discount. That should bring the price of the Ivy Bridge model down to $850 and the Sandy Bridge to $806.
