Your recipy almost matches my dream laptop:
15'' ThinkPad, ca. 2005 era
KabyLake quad or more cores, maxed out memory
rMBP screen
All thinkpad ports in their modern incarnations (gigabit ether, USB 3.1, hdmi), add 1-2 USB-C
rMBP Touchpad before it became Forcetouch
Essentially, give me the Ford F-150 raptor of laptops. And I'm saying this as a European ;).
- Inconel 9y agoI'm currently using a 2013 MacBook Pro and my only interaction with the Force Touch trackpads has been in Apple stores, but what do you dislike about them? I haven't had a chance to try them for long enough to form an opinion and I'm curious about potential annoyances if/when I upgrade to a newer model. Personally I'd love to see the 12.9" 4:3 display from an iPad Pro in a Thinkpad retro.
- qball 9y agoFunny that you say that; there's a project out there aiming to do just that (their last effort was a modern motherboard for an X61; this new one is for the T60).

- fouc 9y agoFYI, there's a setting that controls the forcetouch click, Light/Medium/Firm. If you set it to Firm, it will feel the same as before.
- mikejmoffitt 9y ago"Firm" doesn't feel at all like it was before.
