Title: What's this? A Laptop with Normal TKL Layout Woefully Underpopulated by Bees?
Post by: Kavik on Mon, 04 January 2021, 20:55:24
I'm not really up-to-date enough on PC specs, especially laptop specs, but this one caught my eye because its keyboard has a normal TKL layout, not some weird compromise like squished arrow keys under SHIFT or a numpad with arrows integrated and non-sensical nav key locations. The bottom row is still a little off though.

Looks weird with the offset trackpad... I can understand the reasoning, but it still looks weird.

True, I also don't like that it doesn't have discrete buttons. I hate tapping to click.

I just hate trackpads entirely :)

Thinkpad Nipples FTW.

Trackpoint is way faster to type than Thinkpad Nip****.

So, one has to assume jamster has some sort of intense subconsciously charged secsual complex which drives him to expend the energy and express himself in taboo lingo.

Trackpoint is superior, I agree!

Dang, $850 would make this tempting, but with the current discount it's ~$1200. I don't have much use for a laptop at the moment though.
