Lenovo updates ThinkPad with Intel 8th-gen processors, USB Type-C power adapters

I cannot tell from the photos, but sadly I bet they didn't return the far superior 7-row keyboard to us stalwart ThinkPad owners.

The latest (sucky) layout doesn't even have a Fn toggle to use a 10-key numeric overlay so using extended (ALT+<n> chars) practically impossible. And no Pause/Break key kills me. Every. Single. Day. </rant>

Tip: If you're shopping/researching Thinkpads (or any consumer Lenovo gear), the "Product Specifications Reference" — aka 'PSREF' — documents are the bee's knees. (Last rev. was 20 Dec 2017, so this new stuff is not yet listed.). Link, http://psref.lenovo.com/

Well, I for one prefer both the current Thinkpad USB keyboard and the keyboard built into my X1 Yoga to the classic keyboard in my old Thinkpad X220.

You get [Pause] by pressing [FN] + [P], btw.
