Lenovo Consumer ThinkPads

Published Thursday, January 03, 2008 4:20 PM

I love Thinkpads. For the Windows or Linux-based laptop IMO there isn't a better combination of performance and features around. They are rock solid and well thought out. It was with great sadness when I was forced to change from a Thinkpad Tp60 to a Dell Latitude D620 as a result of a job change. Now I have noticed that Lenovo is coming out with some consumer-oriented laptops that look absolutely stunning. If they carry over on the same performance, reliability and thoughtfulness of design they will be sure to be tremendous. Oh, and the price has to be right. Their business models tended to be on the pricey side. Consumer versions will need to carefully marry all of the above to sensible pricing. Check them out here in a great company blog that focuses on why they design Thinkpads they way they do.

Agreed, but the only thing I don't like about the thinkpad is the stupid red mouse buttin in the middle of the keyboard. Do they still make them that way? I use a USB wireless mouse, so it makes no difference, but the red dot always bothered me.
