You do realize that Lenovo makes the thinkpad.....IBM just doesn't make them anymore. The thinkpads still exist. What the heck are you smoking? Just because it says lenovo on the lid doesn't mean it can't be a thinkpad.
Michael Catz - i think its you thats been smoking - those of us who know ThinkPads know its not a ThinkPad and we make a big distinction between them and the generic Lenovo rubbish (ThinkPad it not a brand name for all lenovo laptops - only the good ones), it looks like one of the Lenovo 3000 Asia only models with a new paintjob.
The Lenovo 3000 is a 12" system with a touchpad so it is possible but the real question you need to ask is why you would ever buy a system without a trackpoint.
If you are going to reply to me...and put in my last name....clearly be smart enough to spell it right. The fact that you misspelled it AFTER it was already written out for you, invalidates anything you may say. I do agree that the thinkpad name is not 100% the same..but I have an old IBM thinkpad and a new Lenovo c3000, and have no quality differences with either. I treat my laptops with respect and take good care of them, but like i said....i have no issues with them.

I might ask the same question of you. You can tell from the design that it's obviously not a ThinkPad-branded notebook. And looking at the inside, Lenovo still retains the "ThinkPad" logo at the bottom right, and it's also absent.
