Lenovo ThinkPad X390: A trusty workhorse that means business but it's not without a few flaws

Re: Reducing functionality just like Apple?

I've got three X230's which are predecessors to this new model and they have a full sized SD card reader. They also have a RJ45 port & dual RAM slots. Lenovo have made the X2/3x0 series something it never was. Previously if you wanted supper thin and were prepared to sacrifice some ports and upgrade ability for that thinness you got a X1 Carbon. The X2/300 series used to have dual RAM slots, hot swap batteries and LAN ports which made it a great expandable road warrior laptop. All those features are gone now. I stopped buying the X series when Lenovo halved the maximum amount of RAM it could use to the previous generation. I think that may have be the X240. Been on the T4x0s series since but the new T490s has gone the same path as the X390. Next laptop will probably be a T series rather than a T slim now.
