    They could have done a better job with the leather.

    It's not worth it IMO. Unless youre collect old thinkpads and have the room to showcase them..

    If I wanted something like this I'd just buy high quality italian cognac leather and make a wrap myself.

    Wasn't Reserve Edition just a high end X61s with 3 year warranty + the leather pouch?

    Thanks for sharing.

    It's way overprice for what it is. Just a leather pouch and they made a freaking huge deal about it when they unveil it. It the most underwhelming product launch from Lenovo.

    well it is something they have to try to know what is possible and what is not. The Lenovo is not going to attempt something similar.

    It did come with a pretty impressive warranty/support offering though. (Agreed: not really worth it, but still I guess if you have that kind of cash...)
