    In reply to Lenovo on the Slow, Painful Evolution of Keyboards
    Can anyone that has switched from a PC laptop to an Apple laptop reassure me that I can get used to the keyboard.


    When I use a Macbook, it drives me nuts when I keep trying to hit Ctrl, only to find that the "open apple" key is in a different place. Or when I want to page down, and find that I need to use two keys in order to do this...

    @UnderLoK: I'd say that, after using the Mac trackpad, just about anything else from any other vendor is a complete and total pain in the freaking ass to use. My cousin asked me to help him set up his new Dell Studio 15, and as I used it, I could only sigh on the inside on how dreadful that trackpad was, and was ever so glad that when I got home, I could just use the big glass panel on my MBP. PC trackpads are complete shit all around by comparison. The nipple, however, is a very good device, but it's something not many PC vendors do well. Dell used to use to include them on their Inspirons, and they were pretty poorly made. They'd get stuck in one direction and it was a pain in the ass.

    Trust me, the Lenovo's keyboard doesn't compare to IBM's of yesteryear. Making these two keys bigger still isn't bringing the incredible IBM T keyboard back, no matter how much you guys say different.

    @Priaptor: I have a Lenovo Thinkpad and an old IBM Thinkpad (for work). The keyboards are equally satisfying to use. The next best keyboard IMO after that is the one on my 15" PowerBook G4. The fact that they ditched it in favor of the iBook and MacBook Air keyboard has left me reluctant to upgrade even though my PowerBook is old.
