Lenovo on Turion

The company, he added, also keeps an open mind about inserting processors from Advanced Micro Devices in ThinkPads. (AMD chips already appear in Lenovo notebooks. IBM used AMD for its servers, but Intel for its notebooks.)

Corporate IT managers have been asking Lenovo, "If it is good for my servers, why isn't it good for my laptop?" he said.

But whether AMD can land in ThinkPads, sold primarily to corporate accounts, will depend on a host of factors, he added.

"It is not going to be about speed. It is not going to be about cost. It is going to be about what will make the customer work more efficiently."
