I totaly agree. When people around me ask me "Why is your laptop so 
expensive ?? It has less power than mine and it is ugly and ..." I can 
reply that using a thinkpad gives me an overall feeling of *well 
designed* product, with original stuffs. And I think it is quiet 
beautifull. But this T60, this silver skin, those windows buttons, this 
vga on the side etc ... Seems like lenovo will kill everything I like on 
a thinkpad. Who care about having a processor more powerfull than an 
athlon 3800+++ in a laptop ? Gentoo users ? :)
I would have prefered them to keep the overall power and increase 
battery life ! Most laptop users use it for office purpose ... And even 
if few people look at the battery life when they buy a laptop, they are 
all complaining about that later.

Seems like IBM has given priority to the feeling of the customer 1 week 
after the purchase, and lenovo gives priority to the feeling a customer 
has 5 minutes before the purchase ... just like many other manufacturers.
