Upon finding out that Staples carried it (from Lenovo's website), I made a trip to a Staples just to take a close look.
Things that I don't like about it: • The hinge felt clumsy and fragile • The battery is non-replaceable • The memory cannot be upgraded. (8GB versions are available, but for a lot more and not at Staples)
Things I like about it: the TrackPoint. That's about it.
I will wait for the next generation X series (currently using an X220).
It's a consumer device. If it didn't break, they couldn't sell you a new one Now on my 3rd laptop and have yet to replace a battery or change out ram modules.
