I just read at:

that there is no thinklight on this new laptop. is this also true for the x60s? if so that's terrible. we come to rely on things like this.

That is a convertable tablet. Note what Matt Kohut from Lenovo says on their blog regarding it.

Actually, they could have made the latch thicker and put the light in it. They also could have made a part of the bezel pop/swing out with the light in it.
