    I love the design of the older x100/x120, and its not that i really hate the new design, but there are few annoyances with the x130.

    1. Its bigger. Did they really need to make it bigger, and add that really large bezel around the screen? The size of the bezel under the screen is just aweful.

    2. The clickpad. Dedicated buttons are always ftw, and the new clickpad just sucks compared to the older touchpad.

    These 2 things are kind of stopping me from wanting to buy one. Does anyone else agree?

    The new X130e is designed specifically for the education market. I agree it's a downgrade from the previous design for just about everyone else though.

    Wait for a good coupon and buy an X230.
