Lenovo design chief David Hill is asking for feedback about an up-top-date classic Thinkpad
"Imagine a blue enter key, 7 row classic keyboard, 16:10 aspect ratio screen, multi-color ThinkPad logo, dedicated volume controls, rubberized paint, exposed screws, lots of status LED's, and more", he writes, asking whether this would be the ThinkPad of choice for the design connoisseur, or too old school?

If it was a blue embedded mouse, it probably wasn't a ThinkPad - all the ThinkPads I've ever seen have had red embedded mice. I do have an HP that came with a blue one (which I swapped with the red one from a ThinkPad keyboard that I wasn't using anymore), and my work Dell has one with a blue rim around a black center.
Touch screens on laptops are meh to me - I haven't found a situation where I think it would be useful, but it doesn't interfere with anything either, so I'm agnostic about them in that situation.

Red/Blue, I dono any more, it was a long time ago.
Re touch screen, I pretty much agree.
I have a Surface Pro, but the amount of time I use the touch feature is minimal. Same Bluetooth mouse gets employed.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
