Lenovo lost me when the did the exact same mistake and decided to replace the exceptional Thinkpad keyboard for an inferior one.

Despite not being as good as the old IBM keyboards, can you name a laptop with a better one? It seems all the manufacturers make terrible keyboards.

The Razer Blade Pro has a mechanical keyboard: http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade-pro

That is a seriously nice gaming laptop. Id like a 15" version with the trackpad in the usual place though, id consider that for my main machine.

Are you aware of any third-party keyboards that can replace those in a Lenovo laptop?

it's also 17", has an nvidia 1080 (!) and comes with 32gb of RAM, that is definitely the type of specs that would be nice to have in a development machine... wonder what the battery life will be for it as there are currently no reviews available yet that I could find.

I don't think the machine is out yet, which probably explains the lack of reviews.

Interesting company, terrible website. How are the keyboards on their smaller laptops?

I have used old and new Thinkpad keyboards and in my view the new one is far superior.

I'm a little disappointed that you seem to've been being downvoted for this.

Personally, I liked the key feel of the old installs better but find the new ones perfectly serviceable.

But I think the key point here is that, shockingly enough, people's opinions differ and you probably need to try any given keyboard yourself to make an informed decision.

I came from a T61, and I really don't mind the keyboard on my X230. If I had any disagreement with it, I would have promptly swapped it for one from an X220.

I was thinking of selling my X220. Now, maybe I'll bring it back out.
