Better than newer T series? I've been looking into Lenovos because the keyboard is the main differentiator I care about on a laptop.

  I've typed on a T530. It was pretty good, but the removal of several keys I actually use and the relocation of others bothers me. I don't think the feel is quite as good on the T530 as on the T60, but it's still one of the best laptop keyboards.

    Yes! I have an X1C and they have messed the home, del, pgup, pgdn island, and placed print screen between the right alt and ctrl. I'm tripping over the keys all the time. How hard can it be to design keyboards with all keys in the correct place? Thinkpads used to be the only ones which got this design issue right.

      I think Lenovo wanted increasingly large trackpads with increasingly short screens. They've mentioned in their design blog that some of the changes are driven by "consumerization". The problem with that is Thinkpads were never meant for mainstream consumers, Lenovo isn't going to out-Apple Apple, and if it wanted to try, it would do better using a model line that doesn't have a business-oriented reputation going back decades.
