They already went chiclet with the T430. The photos out so far for the 431 have bad/odd lighting with some misleading reflections.

- vacri 14y agoMy mistake - I always thought 'chiclet keyboards, named after the gum' referred to the rubber-mat keys that are truly horrible to type on, when it refers to the style of contacts (rubber mat, but can have hard plastic caps).
- pasbesoin 14y agoOpinions vary, but I have read several (about the last iteration, e.g. the T430) that are more favorably inclined to the Lenovo version of these "chiclet" keyboards. That their action is better and that the hard topped, slightly curved keys are more comfortable. Still, though, as far as I know one of those rubber mat "contraptions", under the surface. And with the "island" style key placements (surrounded/separated by a distinct surface, instead of the keys being immediately adjacent to each other).
