After 4 years my Lenovo x120e has final succumbed to the rough and tumble I put it through. The screen cracked and is unusable. This leaves me looking for a replacement.
I'm going to constrain this question to Lenovo options. I don't think I can overcome my track-point addiction.
Anyone purchased Thinkpad hardware in the last while? I know with some of the recent models Lenovo has started messing around with the keyboard design. What are peoples opinions? -- Scott Sullivan

Thanks all that answered. Looks like most of the current generation is a wash with that horrid clickpad. Shame too since the x240 was looking rather like what I wanted. The x140e, still has the mouse buttons I want. But I'm tired of 1366x768. The helix gen 2, although not on the Canadian market yet, does show a return to the trackpad and buttons. Great feature set, but the Core M processor leaves more to be desired in raw performance. It's almost enough to consider a Surface Pro 3 paired with a compact thinkpad usb or Bluetooth track-point keyboard. http://shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/itemdetails/0B47189/460/60AC6A0372B14F5BA7B12F1... I have the usb version for my desktop at work. It's a tough time. Thanks again for you feed back. -- Scott Sullivan
