    @jayhawk11 is an octo-core at heart: To have "an eye for industrial design" one should have a degree in such and be an industrial designer. A.k.a. a person who designs vehicles or metallic structures for a living. I'm sure this soldier doesn't do that and most likely doesn't plan on it. Industrial design isn't as exciting as Jonathan Ive makes it sound. Take a look at an indust. design class and that becomes apparent quickly.

    "With a 17.3-inch (1600x900) display"

    I stopped there. My Dell XPS M1710 has a 1920x1200 resolution. I'll wait for the Studio 17 Touch to allow for a little more real estate.

    @Tamar Weinberg: i'm sure that's just the resolution of the base configuration. when you want to configure your machine i'm 100% positive that you'll have the option to upgrade to a higher res screen.

    @Voohoo: Before I wrote the above comment, I went to the Dell page linked in this article, chose their most expensive option, and didn't get an option to pay more to get a 1920x1200 display. I'm not sure where @ForestFire0 is seeing what I'm not, but 1920x1080 is still less screen real estate than I'm used to.

    Call me too stubborn and too fixated on the 16:9. It's going to be a hard adjustment for me, I suppose, and I've been craving a touchscreen laptop for awhile. Hopefully the 1920x1200 option will be something I'll see in the foreseeable future. I'm glad I'm not in any hurry to buy a new machine.

    @Tamar Weinberg: hm, i just went to the Dell page that was linked in this article. if you go to the Studio 17 option all the way to the right ($1099) and choose to personalize it you will get numerous HD display options for it including 1080p. the other Studio 17 options they show seem to be the older models which only offer the archaic screen res. well anyway, the dang touch screen Studio laptop isn't even out yet so know one can prove anything yet. BUT i'm still very sure there will be at least a 1080p option.

    Black and white are neutral shades, not colors. Only the reds, purples, and blues on thinkpads qualify as colors.

    A thinkpad running AMD, and particularly a thinkpad with that nasty excuse for a keyboard leave me less than enthused. Couldn't they have kept the awesome keyboard?
    Of all the things they could've screwed up, why'd they fuck with the KEYBOARD?

    X200 Thinkpad: 12" frame, trackpoint, no trackpad.

    X100E leak: 11" frame, trackpoint, trackpad.... + colors + chiclet keyboard.

    fake... though I will admit it looks like a nice mid-level netbook competitor if it comes in at under $500 compared to the rest of the crap out there.

    I do believe I see my top choice over all netbooks in existence. A lot of people don't like the nub, but I think it's perfect for something like a netbook, where the trackpads are usually small and sucky as hell compared to regular full-size laptops.

    I've mentioned my affinity for the Thinkpad aesthetic before but I think it bears repeating that I find them to be industrially lovely.

    Unless you are a cyclop or have three eyes, you should be able to enjoy 3D movies and ames. And if you think its a gimmick, watch Avatar in Imax 3D and see what movies will be in the future.
