The new keyboards are great because they reduce the size of a portable computer, which makes the portable part of the computer even better.
If you want a less portable computer so that you can type at work and at home on its keyboard, you'd be missing out on the _much_ better desktop keyboards that can be had instead.

- ppeetteerr 8y agoYou could, for sure, but not with MacOS.
- bildung 8y agoFair enough :) If MacOS is mandatory, the X1 won't be an option. I just gave it as an example that you absolutely can have both portability and a good keyboard at the same time.
- ppeetteerr 8y agoThe X1 is a really nice laptop, that's true. It's up there with the MacBook in terms of quality.
- asdff 8y agoThe new keyboard made the computer 0.12" thinner than the 2015, and the new computer is less than half pound lighter with less battery capacity. To me, these are huge sacrifices in usability for what, another 0.12" and half pound in my bag? Great! Now I've saved enough space to upgrade my 70 sheet spiral notebook to a 100 sheet monster.
- tigershark 8y agoAre you seriously saying that it’s fine to sell a laptop with no usable keyboard because you just type on it on an external keyboard? or you are one of the few lucky ones that actually use it and it’s still good for more than 6 months in a row?
