So the new Thinkpad keyboard and trackpad are at least as crappy as the ones on the MBP/MBA (low-travel chicklet keys, annoying layout, and a single click-anywhere track surface that's painful to use with hi-dpi displays). I have a T520 (1080p) at home with the nice keyboard/trackpad and a newer T540p (3k) at work. Honestly, I'd still buy the T540p again if I had to. Get yourself a mouse, pay the extra $30 for the nice Intel wifi card, skip the second GPU, and sleep well knowing that you're not going to have hardware or driver issues. The same simply cannot be said about the MBP.
- fingerprinter 13y agoI have been looking at the T5XX line, but I just don't want something that large! I travel quite a bit and very much prefer a 13" max system. I have X220 right now and the X1 would have been perfect if they didn't completely screw it up.

The only thing it needed was a better screen, a decent trackpad, and a slightly less noisy fan. It got all those improvements, but they messed up with the case, introduced a ULV processor, limited the amount of RAM and upgradeability, botched the keyboard, and many more things.
