David Hill plans to show his personal T25 shortly

Not sure if this is the "real deal", but David Hill (again assuming it's him) is planning to show his own T25 next on Reddit.

Lenovo uses reddit for promotional activities so this shouldn't surprise really.

The "real" David Hill may find reddit hard work. LOL


Edit I notice Lenovo insiders are rallying around him and is the below comment something that David hill would say?

The RETRO comes from the return of that 7-row keyboard, which had been unceremoniously dumped after it was last seen on T420/T520/X220 in 2011.

I don't know what's so special about DH's T25, unless he had it secretly fitted with 16:10 screen or something. Guess we'll have to wait and see, but so far it looks like he's just bored with his retirement...

Yeah, I guess DH had a two day long social media interest frenzy, then remembered he's retired and went fishing.

Maybe he doesn't have a T25.

DH had his media frenzy, got some lenovobucks--then realized he was both retired and the lenovobucks hit his bank account. At which point he then went off to his fishing trip while grabbing his T40p.Of course he probably binned his T25 Anniversary in the skip, so he wouldn't have one to show, anyways.
