<p dir="ltr">Hi Leon, <br>
Did you find a place that sells these? I couldn't find one in the flesh so I went for the Yoga which maybe is not quite as tough? In fact I did not see this at retail either but had seen one previously. <br>

Hi Brad<br>
<br>
I'm a fan of the T series as well, but they've messed with the<br>
keyboard on recent models. The X1 carbon looks nice too.<br>
