Not asking much... Just if they just would add a trackpoint, a decent mechanical keyboard (don't mind if this adds 0.5cm to the thickness) and offer a black chassis... I feel they would really be the new home of former IBM ThinkPad users which are more and more disappointed about Lenovos decisions to try to compete with Macs.

While I love my mech getting one included means a full redesign for the benefit of just a small subgroup.

That said, I did notice their keyboards run QMK firmware, was very impressed by that.

Black is must, I have to admit that shiny look is a put off for me.

Track point needs to happen too.

And my biggest compliant for my ThinkPad is the ctrl and FN keys being in shitty places.
