Experimental thinkpads are okay with me. Might be nice to see a revisit of that butterfly keyboard on the 701 for instance...

What really bugs me is thinkpads with shit screen resolution. Like, really shit, even compared to less heavy duty cheaper laptops. Thinkpads should not cut costs.

I'm sitting in front of a 1280x800 14" unit here and am quite happy. I can't see the pixels thanks to TrueType in Windows. Retina/high DPI displays are no advantage for my combination of eyes and brain.

I have a 22" 1920x1080 display on my desk which I rarely use as it gives me a headache.

I miss the 1680x1050 15.6" thinkpads. Now they're selling 15.6" T-series that have a pathetic 1366x768 unless you want to spend 2-300 more for 1980x1080.

I should not be able to get on Lenovo's site, look at the current T-series, think back to my (now half a decade old!) 2007 T60p, and be disappointed and underwhelmed. If cheaper less powerful computers are being sold with better screens than T-series thinkpads, there is something very wrong going on.
