The update notebooks include the ThinkPad T410s, T410, T510, and W510 notebooks. The T410s is a 14-inch machine that now has the option of Intel Core i5-520M and i5-540M CPUs. The machine can also be fitted with WiMax capability. The ThinkPad T410/510 notebooks add the Core i7-620M into the mix.

The bigger W510 gets the most interesting new hardware with a choice of Core i7-720QM, i7-820Q, and Core 2 Extreme i7-920XM processors. The W510 also gets a new NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M graphics option.
