First time I've seen CAMM memory in a real product. Pretty cool, but not sure if I prefer it to traditional DIMM slots though.
But the removable ports are a fucking godsend. So sick of a broken port making an entire motherboard unusable.
Honestly the only thing more I can ask for is for the battery to be on the outside of the case (like old school laptops) so you can replace it without opening it which not everyone is comfortable with doing. Otherwise this is really good. The only thing stopping me from buying this laptop is the fact that my current 6 year old Lenovo still works perfectly after I replaced the battery (honestly Thinkpads have always been pretty repairable, this is going above and beyond).
