    Is lenovo going to make some thin bezel thinkpads?

    I'd love to have a t420s in a 13" form factor :)
    stupid huge bezels are really annoying because of all the blankness

    The Lenovo rep at CES told me they are going with thicker bezels. Their research indicates a 1" bezel is optimal for post-it notes.

    Didn't someone say they liked the thinklight instead of the backlit keys because it enabled them to read their notes in the dark?

    Those that need "post-it" notes on their laptop, obviously don't know how to make proper use of their computer. :rolleyes:

    Nah, they'll have 1" side bezels for more USB ports. New ThinkPads will have the full 14 USB 2.0 ports supported by the chipset!
