Thinking of buying a Surface? Try a modular OLED Thinkpad first

Thumb Up

Retro thinkpad - - yes please

A friendly thumbs up to the Thinkpad people who are musing about reintroducing traditional thinkpads.

I'm sure i am not alone is saying - I have my credit card ready.

I miss theold thinkpads. Thieves got my x230T so I went back to my trusty x61 with 8gb of 200 pin sodimm and a 1tb samsung ssd. And realised that I liked it more anyway.

I was considering an x1 carbon but I would pay real money for a genuine successor to the x61. That means user upgradable parts, a 4:3 aspect ratio, amazing battery life and " it just works" reliability.

It would also be nice if Lenovo gave us the option to pay more for higher res screens and better graphics cards.

Build it and they will come.

Who wants a classic ThinkPad with whizzy new hardware? Lenovo would just love to know

x61 reboot

Me too! Put a modern chipset and display in an x61 chassis. Hey why not offer it as a kickstarter and let us put our money down? I am in.
