Hello,
Did you purchase a unit with a 3G (or 4G?) modem? If not, do you plan to
install the SSD in the MiniPCIe/mSATA slot used for it?
I would be very interested in your opinion of the keyboard after it has
been in use for a while.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

Hello,
The laptop shipped a day earlier than estimated and it moved the
delivery up a day. I thought I might arrive early, as it was in
Kentucky last Sunday after a speedy trip through Alaska. I did not
realize that customs clearance happens in Kentucky, and this took
two days. I was reading some horror stories of shipments stuck there
for weeks, but it cleared yesterday, and arrived this morning.
I was concerned about choosing a laptop without physically looking
at one, but so far I like it. I got a FHD 1920x1080 screen and the
text is not too small. The screen is bright and not glossy. I have
not typed on the keyboard much yet, but it has a good feel so
far. I did not get the backlighted keyboard. It does have a
Thinklight. I got a 9 cell battery and it looks similar to the
extended battery I use on the T61.
I got a new computer bag for the laptop. I had a Lowepro bag for my
T61, but Lowepro is more photography bags now. I decided to get a
messenger style bag because I carry around a lot of stuff, and this
bag seemed better than the briefcase style bag. I also like that I
can use it with a camera or collapse the camera pouch. There are no
dedicated lens compartments so I can use it strictly for computer
stuff. The laptop fits nicely even with the 9 cell battery.

Next comes the fun of upgrading the memory, putting in a SSD,
installing my Apps, and installing Linux.
