Talking about the 440 series: no physical buttons on the trackpad, keyboard changes, a lot harder to take apart, 12GB max memory. It's basically not a Thinkpad anymore but a black MBP wannabe.

The changes to the keyboard and trackpad are being reversed in the next version.

  Do you have a link for more information about the next ThinkPad versions?

    that video does not say anything about the home/del/pgup/pgdn buttons...? does it?

      They're going back to the 6-row keyboard (top), not 7-row keyboard (bottom): http://i.imgur.com/NpmHQbL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NpmHQbL.jpg

        Nice; that's the way my original X1 Carbon looks and I'm really happy with that keyboard. In particular, I absolutely love the nipple and the proper mouse buttons. Is there any chance of the linked keyboard actually making it back into the X1 line as well? I almost updated to the new one however they completely murdered it with the "adaptive" change. Capacitive function keys, home and end on the caps lock key, what _on earth_ were they thinking? http://arstechnica.com/staff/2014/01/stop-trying-to-innovate-keyboards-youre-just-making-them-worse/ http://arstechnica.com/staff/2014/01/stop-trying-to-innovate...
