They have unique and useful features still. The last one is trackpoint. Touchpad is getting more bigger and trackpoint has been transformed into the low profile version because number of corporate customers who prefer it is close to zero. So we can expect it to disappear soon or later. Good message...

The relative qualities of Thinkpads vs other brands has not really changed for as far as I can remember. Read this forum https://old.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/ from time to time.

to name the T series in 2020.

Tx00 ?

Lenovo made 5000 boxes total of the T25 (625 for Europe only :roll: ). The project http://blog.lenovo.com/tag/retro+thinkpad was driven by David Hill, the former Chief Lenovo Designer. The original idea was to design a true 25th anniversary ThinkPad again (no 16:9, 7-row keyboard, display lid latche...

No, there won't be any T26. There were more issues, probably due to a wrong Lenovo implementation. You can read tons of posts X1 Yoga OLED has pixelated black screen . I have two Microsoft mobile phones with OLED displays and none of them exhibits a single issue (unlike Huawei P20, Pixel 2 XL and so...

But doesn't LG make their own screens?

Lenovo could make them as well being the #1 PC vendor.

LG Gram 17 is a big laptop that weighs less than 3 pounds

It has 2560 x 1600 (very low resolution on 17" size) but 16:10 display Lenovo "can't" get.

many if not most laptops/detachables equipped with WWAN are locked to specific carriers. Isn't it a firmware issue only?

HP Elite x2 1013 G3 (i5-8350U, SSD, 3k) 2-in-1 Review

Just another Surface tablet clone but still worth to check. Display has low contrast but it is WWAN ready and has no annoying loud fan (unlike many current ThinkPads).

If it is just the officer asking for you to unlock the device so they can look at the contents (in your presence), that's one thing.

Laptop manufactures do their best to "innovate" products using the most stupid ideas. Among crappy keyboards, extra-wide 21:9 screens, super thin & weak and throttling machines, there is yet another possible innovation waiting for us - circular screens :D Microsoft is ready for this https://old.redd...
