He gives some interviews on this YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/LaptopRetrospective that are interesting to hear about the backstory on some iconic ThinkPads.

I had no idea David did the swooping mid-1990s AS/400s, I have a couple of those in my system collection and they definitely have an aesthetic.

While I love the Laptops, I still wonder why the 'Precision Wireless Travel Mouse' has the attribute 'Precision' in its name.

I never owned another mouse as laggy and imprecise. Its design is good, but its basic mouse functionality is just very bad.

I don't think I'd consider getting any laptop that isn't a used thinkpad at this point. I use my old ones as servers, which I affectionately refer to as the ThinkStack.
