They didn't take the TrackPoint away, did they?!
Edit: They really did... Way to kill a brand guys. I blame every goddamn tech journalist who wanted it gone, fuck you so much.
Weird if heir PMs and such really believed people who are clearly companies' PR and not representation of anything real, instead of focus groups.
It really seems like every other review of a ThinkPad is written by someone who's constantly whining about the dimensions of the device (too thick, to bulky) and/or the design, with most of them ending up begging Lenovo to remove the useless nub thing on the keyboard because no one uses it anyways and while they're at it a larger touchpad and better speakers and bla bla...
Basically, most reviewers expect everything to be a MacBook clone and can't cope with the fact that business users don't necessarily care about a fancy design.
