Thinkpad 30th Anniversary
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Leak-Leno ... 758.0.html
Looks like the T25 is going to remain unique, for better or worse. Back to the re-badged prosumer model strategy for the 30AE.

Hard pass. What good is it without the original 7 row keyboard?

Re: Thinkpad 30th Anniversary
Not to mention the awful rip-off price of well over $4,000.-
They aim for a max. of 9,999 units.
Count me out, LeNONO!

Low-effort cash grab.

Re: Thinkpad 30th Anniversary
That's what they said about the Thinkpad 25 too. This one is even lower effort. It's nothing but a different logo sticker and packaging.

Re: Thinkpad 30th Anniversary
T25 was called low effort for other reasons. I'd personally describe it as wasted potential more than low-effort, but people called it low-effort since they offered 1 config (2 if you count WWAN cards as a "config difference," which I don't). I'm still perplexed that they spent the money to develop an entirely new 7-row keyboard only to use it in 1 model. The 7-row had nothing in common with any other Lenovo keyboards. Keycaps were completely new, scissors were modified from the **70 boards, domes were unique, and electrically it remains unique. The trackpoint is physically different from any other trackpoint despite being electrically identical to the **70/80 offering. They did all of this, just to make a single bodge-job of a T470 palmrest to stick it into. It would have been very little effort to put the same keyboard into a whole host of other models. But that never happened.
This thing is low-effort because its an X1 Carbon with some silkscreened branding and a fancy box. Its not wasted potential, its just a cashgrab.

That's exactly what I suggested. Apparently that wasn't convincing.H-Atkinson wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 10:33 amIt would have been very little effort to put the same keyboard into a whole host of other models.

Re: Thinkpad 30th Anniversary
Probably no interest from corporate world, so not worth the effort. Individual buyers are irrelevant, especially when they have no such choice with competition either.dr_st wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 12:18 pmThat's exactly what I suggested.
