It should be interesting to see what kind of uptake the 9th gen stuff gets in the more business oriented ThinkPad and Yoga lineups. Those usually lag about 6-9 months behind the gamer/prosumer stuff. I'm in touch with the PR folks at Lenovo, and will see what I can find out. Thanks for sharing this, as always @Brink!
