Even the T450 (upcoming 2015 model) is still bad. They learned almost nothing from their 2013 & 2014 failures: http://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/2q8peu/3rd_gen_x1_carbon_and_t450_leaks/ http://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/2q8peu/3rd_gen_x1_... It seems all hope is lost with Lenovo ThinkPad. They simply don't understand what a keyboard layout means nor why it's important to group keys and create keys with different sizes. Also the slim keys are bad in many ways. The omission of the F-keys, the omission of the audio&mic-keys. ThinkPad was easy to open using just 2 screws. Replacing parts was easy. Forget that with their new consumer style T430+ series. I personally give Lenovo one more chance for a "T460" in 2016, but I doubt it will resurface the T420 series style. I would support a kickstarter campaign that sole goal should be creating a premium business notebook "IBM ThinkPad style".
