Not asking much... Just if they just would add a trackpoint, a decent mechanical keyboard (don't mind if this adds 0.5cm to the thickness) and offer a black chassis... I feel they would really be the new home of former IBM ThinkPad users which are more and more disappointed about Lenovos decisions to try to compete with Macs.

Yea, differenc chassis is something they could improve.

While I love my mech getting one included means a full redesign for the benefit of just a small subgroup.

That said, I did notice their keyboards run QMK firmware, was very impressed by that.

Black is must, I have to admit that shiny look is a put off for me.

Track point needs to happen too.

And my biggest compliant for my ThinkPad is the ctrl and FN keys being in shitty places.
