Sometimes I question whether my recent upgrade to a T61 was a good investment. A faster processor and more than 8GiB would be nice. Power efficiency and LCD technology has gotten a lot better and I could learn to live with a shortscreen. And playing with a T431 for a short time, the changed trackpoint buttons didn't seem that bad.
Then I read articles like this and their comments and remember the reasons I generally keep my head in the sand for the technology upgrade cycle.
