My dream machine: Lenovo may build a new “classic” ThinkPad

I came to post the same link. It's a pretty lightweight article, but if Lenovo is indeed considering this, I think many of us would like to express support for the idea.

I'd pay a fair premium for such a "real deal". Screen (IPS, matte option, more vertical), keyboard and touch pad (with real buttons), durability, hardware access and maintenance.

And restrict it to the "best" suppliers. Don't make us gamble whether our particular screen, keyboard, or trackpad will be from the first tier or the second tier (in terms of quality and user satisfaction) supplier.

It would also be great if we could get an open BIOS -- at least as something the user can choose to install. But the realist in me is not holding my breath on that one -- although some further months of reporting may change even corporate perspective on that.
