And keyboard.
- jojobas 4y agoAnd trackpoint. And running your OS of choice, free of "call home" crap if you want. But apart from that, what did the Romans do for us?
- nextlevelwizard 4y agoTrackpoint is very divisive, you either love it or hate it. I come on the hate side, so moving to trackpoint from Apple's trackpad feels like a huge drawback.
- nextlevelwizard 4y ago>implying M1 MacBook Air has bad keyboard You would have a point if he was replacing something like 2019 Macbook Pro with the butterfly switches
- aniforprez 4y agoDisagree. The M1 keyboards are just as good as any other keyboards now that they ditched the bad butterfly keyboards. I've used a Macbook with the older keyboards and they were certainly inferior to every single other laptop but the new keyboards I really can't complain about
- GuB-42 4y ago> The M1 keyboards are just as good as any other keyboards But ThinkPad keyboards are not "any other keyboards". For me, ThinkPads are the only laptops where I don't feel the need to connect an external keyboard. I'd say ThinkPad keyboards are as superior to typical laptop keyboards (including the MacBook keyboard) as Apple trackpads are superior to typical laptop trackpads (including the ThinkPad trackpad).
- drbscl 4y agoThinkpad keyboards have been pretty bad for a few generations now. My old T470's keyboard flexed in the corners.
