ThinkPad Reserve Edition... opinions?

[diehldun]

I did a quick search, didn't find anything about it. Anyways, believe it or not I saw someone on campus in my college with one of those $5,000 USD leather-covered Lenovo ThinkPad "Reserve Editions". Is it really worth the $5,000? Granted, I easily get smitten by aesthetics (which is why I have a MBP) so I decided to check it out online; reviews seem mixed, though the customer service is supposed to be amazing (something like your actual designated service liason or whatever). But besides that, it seems like you're just paying for the leather covering. Anyone get their hands on one of these yet?



Don't worry, I don't intend to "switch back", not even for leather haha.

uuuuummmmm...........leather...... oops..........wrong forum

Anyways, my bro had considered buying one of these lappys (he always buys top of the line, high end stuff on everything he buys) but after looking at it extensively, he said they are really nice, but definitely NOT worth anything near 5K......2K maybe

To each their own. Was the 20th Anniversary Mac worth $7500?
