Instead of comparing his 1992 ThinkPad design to current Macbooks, perhaps you should be discussing his recent Lenovo collaboration:

Agreed. The ThinkPad is an incredibly good design.

I have learnt however that MacRumors is the worst place to discuss design. Just look at the panning the Phillipe Starck yacht or the Ruth Asawa fountain got.

Both beautiful things in their own ways, but not 2mm thick aluminium slabs designed by a certain Brit, so immediately dismissed by those who prefer to be told what they like.

(And before I get destroyed - I think the design of my MacBooks and iPods are beautiful. But the only and best (there's no such thing - design is not a race) style in which something should be designed? Absolutely not.)

Wow we've actually found someone who like the design of Steve's yacht. Personally I think it's fugly. And I'd say the exact same thing had a certain Brit designed it.
