  1. Trackpoints, and weights in the lower half of the distribution at those sizes – those are good. But nothing to make them stand out. Giant bezels, no 15+ inch screens, no convertibles.. out-classed by the Lenovos and LGs.

    Basically they’re going for the everyday laptop mass market. Where manufacturers survive on price… far cry from the days when Toshiba was the only game in town for cutting-edge machines, well maybe Toshiba and IBM.

  2. There is a lot to like here: the port selection, the trackpoint (if only it had the 3rd button…), the size and specs… If I were looking for a new machine now, this would be on the list to choose from.
