Lenovo X240 review in 1000 characters or less

The 1080p IPS display is a dream (including dreamlike short-term ghosting :P) and together with the awesome battery design makes this model bearable.
However, the keyboard/trackpoint/clickpad is in no way at all an improvement from previous models, but a major downgrade from my previous X200s.
The keyboard is bearable but definitely has more typos/mis-clicks than previous models. The placement of the PrtScr button is absolutely crazy, I take an accidential screenshot every day or two. Please don't "innovate" the home/end/del buttons any further like on the X1, I beg you.
The clickpad (with two-finger guestures) isn't a terrible idea, but trying to use it for the trackpoint softbuttons is. After half a year of use and tweaking the clickpad, I still continuously mis-click the wrong mouse button. If it wasn't for the display and battery design, I would have dropped this model.
The machine itself is well built, and no functionality issues under Ubuntu Linux (4k HDMI out etc works).
