Are you one of those who have been looking forward to a spanking new Lenovo ThinkPad X130e? Well, sorry to be a wet blanket by bringing this bit of news, but its seems that the Lenovo ThinkPad X130e will not be making it to your home before the year is over, missing out on the original December 20th shipping date, but rather, you can only start to place orders for the Lenovo ThinkPad X130e from February next year. Yes sir, this durable 11.6″ notebook is experiencing such a delay simply because school districts have picked up the entire early batch that rolled off fresh from the factory, so us consumers are left with a later batch – and as we all know, these things do take time to manufacture, making the February 2012 release date far more reasonable. You might want to check out other forms of rugged notebooks from different manufacturers, but those are less mainstream and cater to a more niche market.
