the last generation powerbooks were built better in every way than that generation of thinkpad, and since then, apple's returned to a similar if not better level, and lenovo let the thinkpad brand slide considerably to maintain margins in a price conscious world.
a 7" retina display would cost more than a 10" non-retina display, so to me, it seems unlikely that they'd make both at the same price point. Also, given the current dominance at the 10" size, I just don't see them going to 7"
I can't imagine the 7" higher density display being anywhere near as usable as the current 10". Anything smaller and I'd want a stylus, or a "mobile" browsing environment.
old thinkpad build quality + matte black chassis + apple interface = previous generation blackbook, or any current macbook pro or air and a little work with a screwdriver and a trip to a powercoater...
naw, they don't send you to prison for smoking crack, just for selling, which often is violent. But drugs are a special category in the american legal system
