Availability:
The ThinkPad L412 and ThinkPad L512 laptops are available starting mid-May through Lenovo's official website and business partners.
TP Thoughts:
I think L-line looks almost exactly like the SL-series; I'm not sure if Lenovo is trying to phase out the latter and replace it with the former or if it's merely a rebranding. Either way, it's ok; A Thinkpad is a Thinkpad. I personally like the eco-friendly twist; we all should be doing something good for the environment.
Please stay tuned for updates on Thinkpad L-series' availability in the Philippines.

Lenovo continues to expand its emphasis on green design with the L Series. The laptops use up to 30 percent post consumer content from office water jugs and used IT equipment in parts like the LCD cover, palm rests and top/bottom case. The L512 laptop contains 18 percent post consumer content (PCC) total, making it the industry’s highest amount of PCC in a laptop.3 Each L Series laptop saves the equivalent of 10 plastic water bottles. Overall, Lenovo has used 42 million gross pounds of PCC since 2005 in Think-branded products.
