> Most people are not using laptops as tools to create anything. Even for people creating stuff. The touchpad is way more important than the keyboard as a developer. I can spend a lot of time scrolling, scrolling, reading code and documentation and stuff. Ok there is a lot of shortcuts involved, but keyboard quality needs to be real bad before it becomes a show stopper. Sure there are days were I code all day. But even there, the IDE is doing a lot of the work too. In a language like java, you never have to type a method, class or variable name beyond the first time you defined them. And the IDE will even suggest good enough variable names. Now that I'm thinking off, this is probably the longest sequence of word that I have written unassisted for the day. Commenting on HN, or documentation, or email is what a good keyboard is useful for.
