Not to even mention these shitty island type keyboards in all laptops.
From all features of pre 2012-NOW laptops the REAL KEYBOARD is what I miss the most.
I really hoped that Lenovo will make something more from its 25th Anniversary Edition ThinkPad (some name id T25) but from what I know only 5000 pieces were made and finito. Or ar least that Lenovo will PERMANENTLY provice a classic/retro ThinkPad with every new generation with REAL KEYBOARD.
That is why I still use 2011 ThinkPad W520 and ThinkPad X220 - to have REAL USABLE KEYBOARD with REAL PGUP/PGDN HOME/END INS/DEL keys block in the top right space.
Future looks very dark since years in the laptop space.
The more I look into laptop computing (and often computing in general) the more only single word stands out.

- busrf 6y agoTo be quite honest I also thought, once upon a time, that I could NEVER leave my proper 7 row X220t keyboard for the shitty new island keyboards in new thinkpads. I now type happily on my X1 Yoga. It’s a very good keyboard, you get used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are tradeoffs we all have to make, and I chose having new processors and things like USB-C over having a really good built in keyboard. I just settled for a good keyboard, not a really good one.
- vermaden 6y agoI used this type of keyboard for 3 years on ThinkPad W530. Thought that I will get used to it. I kinda did but the first moment when I moved back to REAL 7-row keyboard was like driving a bike again. Its just so good I do not want to get back to anything other then that. Maybe I will have two machines. One to type and one for other things ... or with external ThinkPad SK-8855 keyboard :) Time will come, maybe I will do one last 'hop' with ThinkPad 25th Anniversary Edition ... if they will be available in several years ... Thanks.
