On: Bringing Intel Xeon to notebook PCs

I think this is related to a Lenovo leak:

That looks like a 17" Thinkpad! Probably only has one screen though.

Yes, it looks good.

Aside, we started emailing Lenovo 2 years ago, when they ruined the touchpad & keyboard, to express our discontent. Seems that they will finally get back on track: http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/retro-thinkpad-survey-4-misce...

They might even support Coreboot. This is good. As a developer, I hate bad quality hardware. Apple is good quality, but some stuff is too consumer oriented: glossy screens and fragile alu+glass. And since Tiger I dislike their software.

What makes you think they could support Coreboot? That would be a huge differentiator, but would need unpredecented Intel cooperation.

At least there's huge pressure from the community. Who knows. Thousands of people requested it in the survey. It's hard to tell, but I think Lenovo might be steering in the right direction after realising techie users are a very good niche.

Touchpad I completely agree but why keyboard?

For me it finally feels great to write -- low profile keys with great separation. I personally feel clumsy on most desktop keyboard because of their sloped keys.
