    Only if you buy a shitty laptop. This is why I only buy old Thinkpad T-series (that and awesome Linux compatibility)

    Hell the keyboard case for my OnePlus Pad is better than some cheap laptop keyboards.

      Old thinkpads have a tiny shitty trackpad and the keyboard isn’t that good.

        Which keyboard you talking about here? The epic IBM Thinkpad keyboard that Lenovo replaced with chicklets around the T430/530 era? The best laptop keyboard ever?

        Even the modern ThinkPads don’t have particularly good keyboards. They are serviceable I guess, but they’re not great.

        T-Series, specifically, as the business/productivity line of laptops, usually has a pretty good keyboard, IMO. I’ve got a 440p, a 460, and a 495s, and I’ve been happy with all of them.

      We use those for work and I’m happy in general, but why the fuck must they “innovate” by swapping Ctrl and Fn???

      It’s such a shitty design choice that messes my workflow every time I go from dock with a normal keyboard to using the laptop alone.

        You can soft-swap their location in bios settings.
