How's the keyboard? Have you maybe used Thinkpads to compare?
- zzzeek 3y agoI have a thinkpad also from work and I've never liked thinkpad keyboards, and I especially never liked the trackpad-buttons-on-top thing (it's a key reason I dont use thinkpads normally). I've been through several thinkpads ( as we have to swap out every few years) and while they get nicer each time, they still carry along that old-school "lets have lots and lots of small keys" thing. Framework's keyboard OTOH is very similar to a macbookpro, keys feel a little higher and more tactile and also the layout is simpler than how my thinkpad has them laid out. truth be told im mostly using an external keyboard so far, havent really gone anywhere w/ the laptop yet.

- tcbawo 3y agoI don’t have a Thinkpad, but the plastic surface of the keyboard feels like a slight step down from other keyboards I’ve used (like my Logitech MX Keys). It’s not as smooth — the plastic of the key is rough, almost chalkboard-like. I haven’t used it in-depth enough to determine any pet peeves about the layout. But overall, I like it. If anyone ever offers an upgraded key cap set, I might go for it.
