Agreed. 'Else' including the previously commendable Lenovo Thinkpad lineup: Today, they announced that the x280 (either that or the previously lighter and thinner X1 Carbon being the equivalent of Dell's XPS 13) will feature: - 16 GB max of soldered-on RAM. :( - Removed RJ45 Ethernet port. :( - Reduced battery capacity by 40%. :( - Removed external hot-swappable battery. :( - Removed 2.5mm SATA drive bay. :( - 2.5mm thinner and 0.21 kg lighter! Hooray...I guess. However, I'm not clear on how RISC would salvage the situation. It seems there's an obvious dilemma in play: Consumers are not rational, and businesses optimize to win these irrational decisions rather than focusing on long-term, difficult to define items like quality, repair/upgrade ability, and reliability.
