This is a huge opportunity for Dell on their portable machines. As far as I know, Dell is practically the only OEM that hasn't royally screwed up their professional-grade notebooks. The M4800 is a beauty – extremely powerful, and fantastic to use. The keyboard isn't as good as it used to be, but it's still a traditional, non-Dentyne (yes, chiclet keys type like Dentyne) canted design, with a numpad, but a good keyboard nonetheless. It has a TrackPoint, which isn't as good as the previous model ThinkPads but is now much better because Lenovo have somehow decided that their sole purpose of existence is to copy Apple and "unify" shit that didn't need to be messed around with. I hate to play stereotypes here, but it was kind of expected from a Chinese company. Their pants-on-head retarded marketing videos and even their products – for example, the Yoga tablet copies iOS 7 icons and iOS 6 dock... wtf, and the marketing video for the new X1 is blatant Ive-hyperbolic. The marketing and hyperbole has long stopped working for Apple (thus the Designed in Cali bullshit), what the HELL were Lenovo thinking? Dell isn't perfect. They have horrible QC and design issues on their lower-end products, and the Precision machines aren't cheap. But they're solid and well-built with a ton of features, good battery life, good keyboards, decent pointing devices. If they put in a 3:2, high-density display, 7-row keyboard, Topre short-throw switches, and a nipple mouse that's less recessed, and market it like mad, it would be the perfect machine, one I would pay for and a lot of professionals, too.
