Will Lenovo ever produce a high quality notebook again?

All I want is a real "ThinkPad". Give me a proper T460 with 32GB RAM, IPS display, a recent Intel i7 CPU, replaceable batteries and the notebook body of the T410 or better the T60 or IBM ThinkPad T41.

I think you are looking for T460p http://www.anandtech.com/show/9889/lenovo-refreshes-thinkpad...

I'd love to have an updated T61 with a 1400*1050 (or a more high-res 4:3 display).

Thank you for that link.

Now to convince management that a 3yo lowish T520 with a ~half-dead~ battery and constant thermal problems isn't exactly the best gear for your developers.. But at least I got time until February, until the T460p ships :)

Thanks for the pointer.

It looks promising, except for the keyboard layout. WTF http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9889/T460.jpg

Can we please go back to IBM designed keyboard layout. The T410 had a very good keyboard, I want to keep such an layout :(

I want my keys grouped together not such a mess. The F1-4, F5-F8, F7-F12 keys should be grouped. The Del, Home, Page Up/Down keys should be grouped. I want to be productive, not look at the keyboard the whole time...

Edit: The T410 keyboard looked like this: http://cdn6.bigcommerce.com/s-blhknq8/product_images/images/...

I am quite happy with a W541.

I wish Apple would do the same. Unfortunately there is no MacBook Pro with 32 GB RAM.

Oh great.

Now we can experience OLED burn-in on our notebook displays, too. And since the thing is freakin' glued together, good luck repairing it.

I have a W530 and it looks very similar to this layout (Return key is over 2 rows though).
