Lenovo unveils new ThinkPad design

After this pinnacle of Lenovo engineering goes on sale there won't be a single laptop on the market worth using.

Not sure what I think of Apple right now. On one hand, they catapulted the laptop designers around the world into producing this crap. On the other hand, by creating the iPad they've started the process of moving consumers off laptops into dedicated facebook terminals AKA tablets, so perhaps the high-res IPS screens with quality keyboards+trackpads will soon be offered again for a premium price.

I am rooting for Dell here. Now when Lenovo is gone, their Precision series is probably the closest one to take advantage of this.

Does anyone want to apply to YC with a novel idea: make computers for people who make money using computers?

I'm going to keep calm and assume that these trackpad buttons work perfectly while using the trackpoint.

At least they didn't change the key laout again. I just got used to the new layout. It takes more effort to use though. There's a horrible wrist-crank that goes on while trying to page down with a pinky.

Anyway, I'm hoping my next computer will be little more than a keyboard (thinkpad travelnav) with something like a raspberry pi at the bottom and hdmi display glasses.

Translation: "Don't pay any attention to the body that is made out of cheap plastic, look at these shiny metal hinges!"

I'm an MBP fella but for the past few years Thinkpads have been the PCs for which I've secretly lusted. Lenovo, becoming more Mac-ish only makes long for you less.

Wouldn't a better monitor be a better thing than flipping the logo?

"We unified the clickpad by integrating the trackpoint buttons into the elegant glass touchpad..."

I sincerely hope they never discard the trackpoint, no matter how many times The Verge laments it's "confusing" presence.
