So much negativity today! Now look: I have a T420s , yes, it's a Sandy Bridge CPU from 2011. It's older than my boots. It got a full HD screen hack last year.

So much negativity today! Now look: I have a T420s , yes, it's a Sandy Bridge CPU from 2011. It's older than my boots. It got a full HD screen hack last year. Now look what I am getting: * a decent upgrade in CPU speeds * three years warranty instead of hair raising hacks * Thunderbolt 3 * 32GB RAM support I truly do not need anything else. Compared to what I was afraid of and budgeted for... at the end of the day I have six years worth of unspent laptop money. I already bought a second half tera SSD, two PackedPixels, a large battery and if more reports confirm it's single module 16GB then I'll buy a second 16GB stick now (I originally thought it's going to be a pair of 8GB and so I only planned going 32GB later but if it's already single stick then even better). I am happy with what I will get when I return to Canada. The comparison to the T470p is total irrelevant -- why would I buy a machine without Thunderbolt 3 these days? The Microsoft keynote at IFA showcased a small Lenovo TB3 dock containing a GTX 1050, Sonnet and Mantiz both have talked about totally portable TB3 docks. It will happen. And then I have enough graphics power when I want and a perfect light ThinkPad when I don't want. If I were an avid FPS gamer then I could leave a powerful TB3 eGPU on my desk. Truly, eGPU is the bees knees and you dont want to miss out. And if you compare to the T470 you will realize the premium is not that much. There are a lot of "what if" scenarios but being mad over them not happening is stupid. We got something impossible: a laptop made for fans. No one else ever did anything even remotely similar. HP did a sticker for their calculator anniversary.
