Paul Allen on Sunday Night Football tonight. Computer Brand? Kind of looks like a Thinkpad. Definitely a laptop, they show him closing

Does it really matter what device Paul Allen use? I doubt he'd save, save, save and save for months scouring over the most minute specs before finally being able to buy a device. It's more like the device was already in his private box when he arrived, put there by some IT guy.

Personally I don't care as Paul Allen's world to me is as an ant to an elephant. Let's hypothetically say it was a Thinkpad, would this change my mind about buying any Thinkpad newer than the Sandybridge x20 series because of the switch in keyboard? No not one bit.

The point is that the Microsoft billionaire who owns the team is not using a MS Surface.

It's an older one since the badges look upside down. I bet on T420s.

Look at the white, rectangular sticker on the lid. That's definitely a corporate computer, not the guy's personal laptop.

Don't see the hinges (so post *30 gen), and it's a bit too small for T series. My money's on X240.
x220/i7-2620M/8GB/256gb.ssd/ips/debian (main driver)
x230/i5/8GB/500gb.hdd+256gb.m2ssd/tn/debian+win7 (better half)

Thing is, the logos are oriented in the old way - which means it has to be a pre-T431s/T440 machine.

To me it seems it could be a X1 Carbon Touch Gen 1. Why this? X1 Carbon because of the hinges, which are likely drop-down. Why the touch model? The logo seems to have the glowing i, and only the X1 Carbon Touch had that, not the regular X1 Carbon.
