The people who care the most about keyboards are touch typists who don't look at the key labels. Moving the B label is because of the low profile TrackPoint which requires a larger notch in the B key. Every recent ThinkPad has this; it's something you'd never notice in actual use, only in photos of keyboards. I had no idea my ThinkPad Yoga 460 and my friend's X1 Carbon had misaligned B labels until people started talking about it WRT the T25, and I certainly don't care about it now.
Definitely agree about the screen resolution; it would be a huge downgrade from the Yoga 460.
- stephenboyd 9y agoI've been using a Thinkpad for years and never noticed the placement of the B key until reading this.
- kevhito 9y agoI had multiple Thinkpads over the years and never noticed. I'm on an HP elitebook now, and just looked down for the first time. Yup - misaligned B key label.
