Personally I tried using it for F keys which is quite frankly the only requirement I’d have and it was awful. At a fully extended hand, which you need to do if you’ve hit a meta key, it’s impossible to hit the right F keys every time. I don’t know how anyone writes code on those machines.

It went back to the Apple store within a week and I got an air. Which went to the Apple store in a week because the keybbboooaaarrdd wwaaass aawwwful.

Then I bought a thinkpad. Which is less of a shiny toy.

Which Thinkpad did you get, and how do you like it? Are you running Windows, or Linux?

I'm trying to figure out what my next laptop should be, but I have no prior experience with Thinkpads.

T495s running Ubuntu 20.04. Absolutely perfect machine as far as I am concerned. Everything works flawlessly that I've tried and the quality is excellent. Really like it.
