laptops are generally designed to be as cheap as possible

This, they're all scams meant to fleece the tech illiterate.
Alexander Brooks
engineered to fail as often as possible so you buy a new laptop
Brandon Williams

James Williams
wtf is republic of gamers LOL
Grayson Wilson
Wrong
Josiah Young
There are mechanical keyboards (that I don't like) that cost more than this lenovo... it does fine.
Michael Lee
Old thinkpads maybe. They've been the same turbo-ass since they switched to membranes
Alexander Thomas
Asus gaming laptop line.
Isaac Wilson
Wrong as well, they only changed key shape and layout, it's the same feel. I'd even say that newer Thinkpads feel better than old ones, I had a T60 and T400 and the keyboard was very gummy, while my T460 feels nice and crisp.
Owen Rogers
Proper keyboards went away when OEMs figured out you could have a unibody laptop with chiclet keys and people would still buy them. The unibody form factor is cheaper to make.
Carter Thomas
user, they've always been membrane keyboards. are you retarded?
Wyatt Lopez
Literal reddit lies
Dilate
Nolan Harris
Because you're not using a Thinkpad.
Nicholas Roberts
I've had 8 thinkpads over the years. T60, T400, T420s, T430s, X230, T450, T460, X1E. The new keyboards are fine.
Jeremiah Phillips
It also has to do with how much it's been used and which of the 3 OEMs made your keyboard

>because you said something i cant prove wrong im going to call you a redditor
they've always been membrane keyboards. the only real difference is the shape and key travel, neither of which severely effects the experience.
they're all terrible compared to mechanical keyboards so im gonna let you let that sink in right fast
Andrew Peterson
>they're all terrible compared to mechanical keyboards
Debatable.
Ayden Rogers
Pixelbook rocks.
Jayden Ward
no. they feel squishy and not as tactile as mechanical keyboards. they also feel more wobbly.

I wonder why the keyboard is shitty.
William Long
Because some weakling came and said laptop should be light and thin as possible, that's why you can't have a nice thing.
Justin Cooper
Dell Precisions and Pre-2014 ThinkPads beg to differ.
