I guess this is why I like competition, because apparently I and the rest of the world differ when it comes to concepts of looks in electronics. By my view, the ThinkPad T410 I just bought looks very beautiful. Straight lines, matte finish, right angles; all of these are very pretty to me. By comparison, the glossy sheen and curves of most Apple products look like a child's toys. Frankly, I think Apple started their brand by being unique and out of the ordinary ("novel"), have improved it a bit with usability, but what happens if or when the sheen starts to wear?
