ok, i'm just whining here, but why do 14" models have that thiner left metal hinge? it kinda spoils the overall look

Because you know that it is metal, while on other laptops it looks like plastic, and it usually is

However, I also preferred the 600 series hinges, looked more professional imo.

in my opinion, those little lack of symetry gives the Thinkpad a more beautiful touch. That is also, why 14" T42 have an edge over the 15"´s.

At first glance, it looks to me like there isn't enough space on the righthand side to accomodate the large hinge on the right side. Does symmetry really matter? The display housing is not symmetrical, the keyboard is not symmetrical, the palmrest is not symmetrical... etc.
