    Agreed - it's quite a snobbish attitude for people to immediately criticize any "untraditional" Thinkpad. In my opinion, that makes those people ignorant of the merits of the X120e/Edge Thinkpads. But that's another story and likely another debate.

    Here are are couple X120e discussion threads:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/len...ounces-new-thinkpad-edge-x120e-notebooks.html
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/549327-thinkpad-x120e-too-bad-no-usb3-0-a.html
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/549377-x120-e-does-anyone-know-when.html
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/550744-so-when-nbr-going-get-their-hands-x120e.html

    So, if you don't have any specific concerns regarding the X120e that merit a new thread, please continue discussion in those threads. Thank you, thread closed.

    I would differ on that point. I don't the Edge, SL or X100e/X120e are bad for what they are, but they are not ThinkPads in the traditional sense. Calling them ThinkPads in my opinion dilutes the brand. This is a problem particularly for the uninitiated who see "ThinkPad" and assume they're good based on the reputation that ThinkPads have earned over the years. In reality they're buying a gloried consumer notebook. You do get access to ThinkPad support and they do offer lower prices, which are definitely merits, but again, they're not ThinkPads in the traditional sense.
