When I actually do a typing test of speed and accuracy, the only keyboards I do badly on are small keyboards for <12" devices, and long travel keyboards (As in desktop mechanical keyboards). I've been hearing about how essential long travel is for so long, I've owned an old Thinkpad, I've owned a new Thinkpad, and I'm not sure what it is about travel that makes a better keyboard if it doesn't decrease errors or increase speed. In fact since it takes longer to bottom out and register an input, one could make an argument high travel was a downside, but I don't see this reflected in the measurements I've taken of myself. Losing 2 discrete ram slots sucks, but honestly the lack of expandability is far more of a downside than the lack of reparability. I always save a few bucks by buying memory aftermarket where I can, so for me a computer with discrete ram slots is just a cheaper computer. The swap to USB-C was fantastic, it made chargers which previously cost more than a hundred dollars a commodity and lowered prices and improved reusability, I've saved LOTS of money off that standardisation. I think the most infuriating modern trend to me is actually is soldering the SSD thus leaving a computers data hostage to a failure elsewhere in the computer. A computers data and the rest of the computer should be separable. Thankfully it doesn't seem Lenovo is soldering the SSD yet.
