Well, the 8xx series "Thinkpads" were "Thinkpads" only in name. They
were a different form factor, a different material, different
architecture, just flat different. And they never got the power
consumption down enough to make them more than toys (45-60 minutes on a
battery?! Please!). Neat idea.

But Linux makes it moot, anyway.
