> Non-chiclet keyboard with decent layout

This. These cheap keyboards are very annoying.

I hope Lenovo produces the old IBM style business quality keyboards for their brand new models.

@Lenovo: have a look at your great T410 keyboard, build them again: http://cdn6.bigcommerce.com/s-blhknq8/product_images/images/... (only the cursor keys are a bit too small, otherwise great)

I find these Lenovo chicklet keyboards very pleasant. I have t420s which has it and R40 with old style keyboard. Tried to write on R40 recently and was surprised that it's not that big difference. I don't use F keys much so their layout doesn't bother me.

edit: "F keys" part readability

I heard T410 wasn't popular, and there will be more hardware problems or known defective, look at most industry, I'm disappointed that the quality are getting lower.

Why would they practices selling replacement parts that could cost you half of the laptop price just to replace a casing?
