Nice. Now I'd love to see Lenovo offer Thinkpads with a factory disabled Intel ME.

  While we're at it... maybe provide Linux (Ubuntu?) as the default operating system? If we're feeling really lucky we might do with asking them for the original Thinkpad keyboards back. That would be a dream computer.

    A short time before Lenovo wrote the first Retro blog posts, so in the beginning of 2015 I posted my dream laptop to Quora. https://www.quora.com/What-is-your-ThinkPad-dream-machine-specification/answer/Karoly-Negyesi https://www.quora.com/What-is-your-ThinkPad-dream-machine-sp... The 25th Anniversary laptop got close but because it's T470 based so there's only a single, crippled Thunderbolt in there and it's slightly heavier.

    It is that hard to install Ubuntu and dual boot? It's really handy to have that extra windows license from the factory

      It’s about as easy to dual boot as it is to just run a popular distro. Wifi cards etc can still be a problem, regardless. I’d rather not have anything to do with Windows, and would appreciate the gesture of a discount for the Windows license (and the money not going to MS).

        I second not wanting any money going to microsoft. I'll take it a step further and say I don't want any microsoft code, branding, stickers, or keys at all no matter how "free" they are. just kick $10 off my price tag and I'll be happy. If you just sell me an empty shell (no disk or ram) which I'll be over charged for I'll be even happier.
