That's interesting. All my laptops for the last 15 years have been
Thinkpads, basically because (a) they have always been good to dual boot
with Linux, and (b) the keyboards were miles ahead of any others. I am very
fussy about keyboards and the Thinkpads are about the only ones I can get
one with.
But the more recent thinkpads have moved to the 'chicklet' style of
keyboard, and some of the reviews I saw of the T460s characterised the
keyboard feel as 'stiff', which concerned me a bit. Perhaps the feel has
changed less that I feared, and they are comparing it with the somewhat
squishy (to me) feel of Dell keyboards.
I'm not particularly in the market at the moment but seems like I should
try something like a T460 when the time comes.
Let us know how you get on with it.
