Well, I'm done. I've been a Lenovo fanboy for _years_, currently running a maxxed-out X220 w/ FreeBSD 11.1.

But after _years_ of clamouring by the ThinkPad community, Lenovo has a released a decidedly half-assed machine. Yay for the keyboard, but no 4:3 / 3:2, ThinkLight? This is just a cynical exercise in branding.

And _then_, they are only making 5,000 of them, so that the price is high, and (unlike other older models, like the X220) they won't be thick on the ground in a few years for parts.
