True workhorses, very reliable, good thermal design, little or no hardware issues. Great Linux support out of the box.

- no numpads > no one who's not working in IT can properly work without a numpad, it's too much of a hassle for most operational people who input numbers, even if only in a written text/report
- The very prominent buttons on top of the touchpad are constantly triggered while typing (they're in the way of your palms), initiating random clicks and removing parts of what you typed (thank you ctrl + z), I've never had that issue to such an extent on other laptops
- The trackpoint is also triggering issues > yes, you can deactivate it, but most end users will not know that until told so
- Even when trackpoint is deactivated, it's an absolute bother when typing
- subjectively, they just look old now with the legacy look, but that's a very soft and personal issue, hence distinct from points above
But for most operational (as opposed to IT users), it's a usability nightmare, and everywhere I've been that's the laptop that gets the more users to bitch at.
