Being stuck on 16:9 is bad enough, but worst of all was the move away from the "7-row" keyboard. The island ("chicklet") Thinkpad keyboard is better than other OEMs versions of same, and of course, I won't leave home without a Trackpoint.
But every day since my x201s died—replaced by an x230 tablet—I miss the seventh row. ScrollLock and Pause|Break are not legacy controls, and I get blocked every day when I reach for those keys, and as they say, "There they were: gone![1]"
Oh, and I see no reason why all the pro-line Thinkpads (X,T) don't support 32GB, minimum.
Lenovo seems to be getting the Thinkpad brand back on track, but for my money it's not happening quickly enough.
