Lenovo announced the new ThinkPad SL series notebook PC targeted on small-to-medium business (SMB) users. Three models are available, SL300, SL400 and SL500.
All the three models come with built-in high speed mobile broadband connectivity, Blu-ray DVD optical drive and multimedia capabilities. The ThinkPad SL300 has a LED backlit display while the other two get the ordinary CCFL display.
Lenovo announced also R400, R500, T400, T500, X200 and W500 notebooks. They feature options of GPS, SSD, LED-backlit screen.
Lenovo ThinkPad SL400 and SL500 is available now for a price starting at $799, while the ThinkPad SL300 will be available in August for $899.
I just reviewed the SL400 and found performance overall to be quite good:

Clarification: “ThinkPad SL400 and SL500 is available now” is not quite accurate since the Lenovo site indicates that they will be available in “4+ weeks”.
