If you happen to find out that your new thinkpad has such glaring design
compromises, return it?  And make sure to call Lenovo and register the
reason why you returned your brand new thinkpad for an older model or your
money back?  Note: do NOT buy a thinkpad just to return it, *that* would be
dishonest.

Start a big thread on the Lenovo forums and blogs (if on-topic! let's not
make a nuisance of ourselves) calling them upon such issues?

Remember that it will be the *quality* of the way you do it that will make
an impression, especially if it is also backed by many others.  Above all,
nobody pays attention to obnoxious people with bad grammar, bad spelling,
and even worse reasoning... in fact, bad quality posts are a hindrance to
whatever they are "attempting" to "help" with.
