Oh great, the typical Lenovo-doesn't-know-what-they're-doing comment. And of course it's completely wrong. Tons of people want 1366x768 screens on their 15" laptops. Otherwise it makes everything too small! That's what they think and that's what they want. And having the 6-row keyboard helps touchpad users, which is the majority of the Thinkpad customer base, have larger touchpads, and a smaller overall chassis with bigger palmrest, especially on the X240 but also on the T440s and T440.
- MichaelGG 13y agoI don't know what you mean by "makes everything too small". 1366x786 is shipped on 10" laptops just fine; saying it's needed at 15" is silly. Not to mention, Lenovo doesn't even offer many alternatives, except on the higher-end models. The only good thing is that Apple is showing them up, so they're finally responding in kind, rather than racing to the bottom against Dell and HP. As far as vertical space, which you argue as a positive of the 6-row layout, is negated by the fact they switched to a less vertical screen, and hence, keyboard. Edit: As far as Lenovo doesn't know what they're doing... do a screw count on modern designs. Look at how much work is involved replacing the most common part (fan) - you've got to take _everything_ out. I've no reason to believe the high-level technical decisions are being made more intelligently than the obvious lack in quality at the low-level.
