These two quotes make me feel very uneasy: Other companies do not physically possess the equipment or resources to produce anything that even approaches an iPhone or MacBook Pro and Perhaps Lenovo can subsist at the bottom end of the market, or maybe it too will shut up shop. While the rest of the article makes sense, I call the 1st quote a complete BS: Lenovo already makes vastly superior computers to Macbooks. They just lack the marketing (and confidence) to explain to the masses that cold and uncomfortable aluminum is actually a pretty shitty material for a laptop. The confidence situation is so bad that they even started replacing their supeiror keyboards with calculator keyboards. Because Apple does. Ughh... And my very first Android phone (Nexus One) had a vastly superior (and practical) construction than the iPhone of the time. The thumb ball was great for precise scrolling and you can tell up/bottom or front/back apart when holding the phone in your pocket. But once again, there was no marketing to rub that into the brains of the shoppers. Although it will indeed be irrelevant if Microsoft/Google push OEMs aside. For one, I am not looking forward to the depressing "glossy aluminum future". If nobody has ever managed a laptop even half as good as a Thinkpad, I am having doubts if Microsoft will.
