I think Lenovo went on a huge and pretty bizarre cost-reduction across the IBM laptop line, like the legendary IBM keyboard is definitely not what it used to be. But this is piece of FUD is based only on my experience with one T60p, and random murmurings on the interwebs. I'm pretty sure they're still better than Dell which choses purely to optimize cost on most of their machines. Cheers, Aditya -- Aditya (http://aditya.sublucid.com/)
