New Hinge Design

How far back can the LCD open on the new T450 and T550 thinkpads?

They never mention it in any of the reviews I've looked at. I assume it can't open nearly 180 degrees like on the old thinkpads? Did they sabotage the thinkpad to make the Yoga more appealing?

If you use a laptop riser being able to rotate the screen far is very useful.

The screen opens a 180° on all current ThinkPads (besides the E models, but those are not true Thinkpads anyway...)
