Because they are ugly, just like ThinkPads that include them.
- andix 4mo agoI couldn't care less how ugly my keyboard is.
- qweqwe14 4mo agoSure, but normal people care about aesthetics, and unsurprisingly big corporations cater to that.
- Hugsbox 4mo agoSo Lenovo puts trackpoints on their ThinkPads, which is ugly. Also, big corporations cater to aesthetics. Which is it?
- qweqwe14 4mo agoI didn't say corporations can't have an ugly laptop lineup. I'm saying that the trend of consumer/business laptop lineups is to make all of them look similar to a MacBook, because that's what most people want. Of course there will always be exceptions, like the ThinkPad.
- andix 4mo agoI'm not even interested so much on laptop keyboards. I always work on my desktop setup with an external keyboard. It's really hard to get an external keyboard with a track point. For laptops there are a lot of models to chose from, both used and new.
