To me it is the keyboard. I just don't like any other on a notebook, excluding gaming notebooks with full mechanical keyboards.
Plus they are the best thing ever you can buy used. Cheap, robust and better than anything you could buy for the same money.

- lproven 4y agoI find your post oddly self-contradictory. I mean, yes, the loyalty to Thinkpads was in part because they had great keyboards. The first I had new, an i12200 series model 1163, was a badge-engineered thing made by Acer, with nasty plastic screen hinges that failed, only USB 1, only 1 SO-DIMM slot, etc... but it still had the IBM keyboard. But the thing is that since the ?30 series (X230, T430, W530) Lenovo has gone over to awful chiclet keyboards. So the model you cite is a late one with a nasty flat almost-no-travel keyboard. Which is why I only use ?20 series or older, which have the good, 7-row keyboards.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4y agoI prefer the newer keyboards over the old ones. Plus trackpoint is something I use.
- lproven 4y agoI am very fond of trackpoints, too. But preferring the modern keyboards? My ghast is flabbered. Liking the flat abominations more?! Surprise is no longer adequate and I am forced to resort to astonishment.
