I gave up on a Macbook Pro to use a Thinkpad T420s, the last one with the traditional keyboard. Aside from maxing out the memory and the SSD, I only upgraded the LCD panel to a better one ordered on AliExpress.
- zibzab 5y agoAm I the only person who is just fine with the new keyboard? Obviously the ones on ideapad and whatnot are not in the same league, but the keyboard on T450s and T460s are pretty awesome.
- lproven 5y agoI've been discussing just this with the folks in reddit /r/thinkpad recently. There are lots on your side, but I see lots of upvotes for the new-keyboard-haters too. For me, the 220/420/520 are the last good Thinkpads. I have all 3 and use them all regularly. Anything after that, IMHO the chiclet keyboards are unusable trash. They've got even worse since the ?30 generation and now are right down there with Dell and other cheapo glued-together skip-ware. (Skip = dumpster in USian.)
- sam_lowry_ 5y agoI would not dismiss Dell so quickly. Screens in their 7000 series of the same era were much better. Keyboards were trash.
