As excellently as Thinkpads have served for me in the past, I've always
had a fondness for the things. Lately that has been wavering a little,
as I've seen some of what Lenovo is doing with the line and begun to
worry about where this will lead in the future. This announcement
pretty much seals the deal: they're likely to lose a customer in me, and
in anyone that takes my advice for portable Linux computing (which is
probably more than the average for people who give advice to friends
when they're in the market for laptops).

I'm still interested in possibly picking up a T42p at some point, if I
get around to it before the thing is hopelessly outdated, but I haven't
seen newer models that really excited me.
