At least in recent times.
Lovely concept, hopefully they will make even more variants like 15-16" with dGPU.

I admire their approach, especially with the RAM nowadays being soldered at that thin size.

The only thing that bothers me is the monitor. It's 3:2 ratio and not 16:9 or 16:10. I don't know what's going on there, or I read it wrong.

I can see large, corporate businesses using these laptops, only if they can also sell motherboards as replaceable parts for future upgrades. I know I'm cycling out ThinkPad X250 and X260 for the X390 right now. But if I could only change the motherboard...would be nice.

The mainboard will be upgradable as well.

I guess the higher aspect ratio vertically is to take advantage of screen from top to bottom. Makes sense in a 13". So one can have a large trackpad and normal sized keys?

Hopefully I'll get one to play with shortly.
