I have a dream:

- roywashere 6y agoYou mean like https://fedoramagazine.org/coming-soon-fedora-on-lenovo-laptops/ https://fedoramagazine.org/coming-soon-fedora-on-lenovo-lapt... (And more or less ThinkPad was already sold: from IBM to Lenovo in 2005)
- tomcooks 6y agoInstead of making bad Mac Air clones a company should make 1:1 replicas of sturdy, old school, ThinkPads (t420, x230, x220, etc) There's a market for cheap, reliable, battle tested equipment
- generalizations 6y agoI wonder how much of the design of those oldschool ThinkPads is patented or otherwise protected. What's to stop some enterprising hacker from making those replicas without authorization?
