I'm currently typing this from my T450s. My perspective:
I love the chiclets. They did a good job. The keys are perfectly shaped to reduce accidental presses.
> I don't understand why Lenovo doesn't add an extra 1 mm to the thickness of their laptops
Because they are already market leaders on key travel. Why aim for perfection when you are already ahead of everyone else.
I agree that I don't like the direction they are heading towards USB0-C and non removeable batteries, but at least for the mid-model years I think they did a good job balancing which components were replaceable.
