Thinkpads are also great because they don't suffer from the "thin at all costs" problem mentioned in the article. For a work laptop, I want lots of different ports, including a full-on Ethernet port without a dongle. Sometimes you need that wired connection when traveling. And HDMI (without dongle) is also a must. Macs have ditched a lot of these ports, but Thinkpad still has them.

Brady and Purdy have one thing in common: both were thrown into the game on exceptionally good teams and were not asked to carry the team. In Brady's first years, that Pats defense was elite, and he wasn't asked to air it out like he did in later years. Purdy is in a similar situation. SF has one of the most stacked rosters in the league. It's got elite receivers, running game, defense, coaching. SF has it all. Purdy is the weak point, but he's not asked to do too much, and he's been good so far.

I don't think it will reignite the rivalry. That only happens when it's between top teams. Back in the 1990s, the winner of Dallas vs. SF would win the SB. More recently, you have rivalries between top teams like Pats-Colts (with Brady/Manning), or maybe now Chiefs-Bengals. But there isn't the same feel here. Maybe if Dallas wins, but I suspect this game won't be very competitive (SF seems like the far better team), which means no rivalry.
