I agree on the touchpads, but I like Thinkpad screens. Give me a nice 1080p matte finish any day over the ultra-glossy high resolution screens that make everything tiny, burn through battery, and look terrible in bright sunlight.<p>With the extended battery and bay battery (no slice battery) I was seeing over 14 hours of real world wireless usage (inc. fullscreen video) on my 14&quot; Thinkpad. The Thinkpad is a workhorse, not a toy.
