Interesting to see how people overwhelmingly chose 7-row and other traditional ThinkPad designs. Despite having implemented their new design changes for a few generations, few people are really loving their changes.
Somewhere on their blog, they noted that the new layouts "didn't take too long to get used to". In other words, they were changing things purely to satisfy some poor design sense, not to benefit customers.
I spent over 2 grand on the X201, yet a new X250 is about $1000 with a reasonable config. I wonder if they're leaving money on the table by not offering better options, or if people like me are just a strange anomaly that's worth ignoring.
