I noticed this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5392943 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5392943 and commented there (based on the specs sheet they show): Not pleased. Keyboard changes, including what appears to be a "sharper" front edge to the palm rest. (I hate having that pressing into my wrists when a table is not at the ideal typing height.) Apparently only one DIMM; initial 4 GB soldered. WWAN and mSATA share a slot; it's either/or. No optical drive or spare drive bay. Yes, some of us still use those. -- P.S. Also, this perspective just occurred to me: They are no longer offering a $1000 laptop. They are offering a $700 (perhaps generous -- soon to be $600 or lower equivalent) laptop. I won't pay them $1000 for this. I'll pick up a competitor's $600 model. Aside from the price inflation, there's little left in this model of Thinkpad to tempt me to make a longer-timeframe purchase decision. I'll probably switch to buying something else, and just upgrading every year or year and a bit -- if and as needed.
