Bearing a TP00043AWD model number, Lenovo’s Windows 8 ThinkPad tablet has apparently stopped by the FCC for testing, making it the second we’ve seen after ASUS’ Tablet 810 made the rounds. Although there aren’t any glamor shots or specs available, the design shown closely matches the tablet we spent some hands-on time with at Computex in June and a quick zoom in the lower right corner reveals that new Windows logo alongside another one for Intel. When we saw it last the spec list included a 10.1-inch 1366 x 768 display, Intel Clover Trail CPU, 2- and 8MP cameras front and back plus the usual assortment of connectors. Check after the break for a bigger look at the diagram and zoom of the revealing logos, or hit the source link to go through any unsealed documents with a fine toothed comb.

Lenovo has come up with their latest laptop that targets the student community – the Lenovo ThinkPad X131e, where it will be equipped with the relevant technologies that will enhance the modern day classroom learning experience, not to mention sporting a rugged design that ought to be more than enough to withstand the rigors of everyday school life – and more. Depending on your budget, you can choose from the Intel Core or Celeron processors, and if you jive with AMD, then the AMD E-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) will do its job without any complaints. 
If you happen to own the Lenovo IdeaPad K1, then you would be pleased to know that Lenovo has already released the Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich update for this particular tablet. Just what is different from Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich compared to the factory-installed Honeycomb 3.1 release and its subsequent OTA (Over The Air) updates? For starters, this particular update will not come with Lenovo customizations including the launcher, pre-installed Apps or an App store, and neither will it feature such underlying framework. In fact, you should take note that installing this Ice Cream Sandwich update would require having you kiss goodbye to all your system data, including all factory Apps and other customer installed applications, music, pictures, and personal files.
We often come across articles where it is stated that a CEO of a big company received X amount of dollars as a bonus, which is usually more money than most of us will see in a lifetime. Lenovo’s CEO, Yang Yuanqing, was recently handed that bonus, $5.2 million to be exact, but what makes this particular story different from the rest is that instead of keeping it all for himself, the CEO decided to hand out $3 million from his bonus to 10,000 junior-level employees. So what constitutes as a junior employee? Well according to reports, this includes receptionists, production-line workers and assistants to name a few – basically employees who might have to work long hours and who might not be making as much as their managers or higher level executives. In an environment where you read about execs who might not deserve their huge bonuses and who are arrested for financial fraud and the likes, it is pretty heartwarming to read about a CEO put his bonus to good use!
