Core i3 coming via ThinkPad T410i, T410si, T510i

by John Hobbes , posted 02/8/10 9:50 PM

Some recently updated documents from Lenovo shed light on versions of their ThinkPads will have the lower priced Intel Core i3 processors.

We actually noted this last month when the T410s appeared in the PSREF docs, with the T410si model listed as having the lower end Core i3 chips. Now Lenovo has updated the documents indicating that T410i and T510i models, in addition to the T410si, will be available for purchase.

The big question is how one will be able to purchase a Core i3 ThinkPad. Lenovo hasn’t historically offered separate sub-models of a product for sale on their website. When you consider that it would add an extra layer of complexity to their T Series lineup for potential buyers, I’m not expecting to see the ‘i’ models on Lenovo.com.

Hopefully Lenovo will add the Core i3 chip to its existing web configurations, offering a lower price point to the already rather competitive T410 and T510.
