Anyone own a pre and post-Lenovo ThinkPad that can compare build quality?
I've been buying up spare parts for my T40 ever since the news of the sale, assuming they're going to eventually bung up the quality and ride the name into the ground, or at least, out of the hands of users who care about quality, and into the hands of teenagers, their neophyte parents, and all other manner of ignorant n00bs.
Its not a promising sign they're getting gimmicky right off the start -- sure, the titanium option is cool, but I bought my ThinkPad for its durability, longevity, and its stealth factor. The "Olympic Edition" is surely going to bring the dufii out of the woodwork and to the sure-to-be-diluted former brand.
