Interesting review. Unfortunately I was distracted the whole time thinking to myself, “Orange nubbin!”

On a serious note, does anyone really use those as pointing devices in place of a mouse? They're awful.

Yes. For my home and work setup.

My primary inputs to my work machine are ThinkPad keyboard, nubbin and associated physical buttons. Trackpad is disabled.
I've thrown the mouse in the bin and can't see the point of a separate keyboard.
Laptop screen is used as a poor ergonomics secondary display under my main monitor.

If Lenovo would get on the thunderbolt train across the board, I could replace my aging T420 home machine with something I could game on directly with modern egpu rather than resort to in-home streaming. P50 is too big.

That Windows logo on the screen is extremely annoying. Who says everybody will be running Windows on it?!

The Windows BUTTON on the screen is the same size as the Windows button on your keyboard. Are you going to complain about every keyboard with a Windows key now too?

Looks like a decent enough upgrade over the original Thinkpad Yoga.

The Thinkpad's are always well built bits of kit

It's always difficult to realize a good balance among performance, weight, battery life and cost on laptops and tablets. This is a quality product anyway.
