So what are the rumors

:?: Anything coming out that will replace the W520. I know that thin is in but would not think they can shrink the W520 and keep all of it's "Desktop Replacement" features.

What is coming down the pipeline from Lenovo?

They are slimming it down with an island keyboard...a 6-row one no less... :evil:

Slimmer design, backlit island keyboard, TrackPoint stays the same, case materials stay pretty much the same, update to Ivy Bridge, more RAM on some of the Top Seller configs, no ThinkLight, etc.
