    Lenovo may make classic 7-row thinklight classic keyboard thinkpad

    http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/retro-thinkpad-time-machine


    For a while now I’ve been exploring the idea of introducing a very unique ThinkPad model. Imagine a ThinkPad that embodies all the latest technology advances, however, embraces the original design details in the strongest way possible. I’ve been referring to the concept as retro 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. Think of it like stepping into a time machine and landing in 1992, but armed with today’s technology. Although not for everyone, I’m certain there’s a group of people who would stand in line to purchase such a special ThinkPad model.
    This is as good as if Matrox would have announced they are making competitive card again

    16:10 is better than 16:9. but a far cry from 16:12 (the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio). Who came up with the idea that everybody buys notebooks to watch films on them, rather than for work?

      Or that, if we do watch films, we need a full screen instead of some black space and happilly compromise on the productivity part?

      And who ever could have thought 1368 x 768 (or somesuch) with a ribbon, statusbar and taskbar would leave sufficient space for actuall work?

        Yes, my crappy no longer new phone has resolution like modern laptops. I was rocking A21p with UXGA (1600x1200) in 2005 while my desktop then was 960x3840, it was more than 1 meter from start menu to the clock. 3k desktops are so 2004.
