I got an X1 Extreme. Keyboard is amazing. Didn’t know these keyboards were so much better than any MAC I owned until January this year.

Dat touchpad though...

I don’t mind it. I use the keyboard 95% of the time. Then touchpad much less. While Apple has the best touchpad. Keyboard is more important. IMO.

Interesting. Did you use more traditional thinkpad keyboards (back when IBM owned them)?

I think I used a ThinkPad back in 1997 when my Uncle had a laptop. But aside from that possibility I don’t believe I’ve ever touched one until beginning of this year.

They will take my T520 from my cold, dead hands. That was the last one that came with an actually useful keyboard...

... and thanks to Linux, it runs like on the first day.

I have a T520 at home as my linux box. At work I use a 2015 MacBook Pro.

I don't know.

I don't find the T520's keyboard to be any better than the MBP's. The differences in key placement are much more noticeable than any difference in key shape, travel, or response.

Am I missing something?

... and thanks to Linux, it runs like on the first day.

The integrated Intel GPU in my T520 is stuck on XDDM and never got an updated WDDM driver. So it can't run a modern version of Windows anyways.
