> I don't know what my next laptop will be, but I know for sure it will not be a Thinkpad. I bought a ThinkPad earlier this year and returned it soon after. While the keyboard was pretty damn good, the rest of the laptop felt poorly designed and fairly janky, with resources spend on image rather than good design. The buying experience shipping from China sucked as well. I ended up going for a Dell Latitude, which feels solid all round, still has an acceptable traditional keyboard, traditional mouse buttons, a surprisingly responsive nipple, and has a bunch of clearly thought out attributes... like all the ports being on or toward the back.
