[05:36] <darthrobot> Title: [ThinkPad X1 Carbon Business Ultrabook | Lenovo (US)]
[05:36] <arrith> behold the touch function buttons, and despair
[05:37] <arrith> i probably misspoke earlier, chances are there will still be thinkpads in the T series (or at least W series) with sane(r) keyboards for a while
[05:37] <rww> oh, I thought you meant on the actual LCD screen
[05:37] <rww> but yeah, that's pretty awful
[05:37] <arrith> oh, that would be funny
[05:37] <arrith> but they tend to trial stuff with that x1 line
[05:38] <rww> I was working on a Lenovo today with no Pause/Break key. Makes getting to the System window on Windows rather more annoying.
[05:38] <arrith> like there's that t4x0s and another t4xx<letter>
[05:38] <arrith> ah wow
[05:38] <arrith> at least on this hp thati  have, chiclet, but you can fn your way to all the normal keys
[05:38] <arrith> i use an ext kb whenever i can though
[05:39] <rww> it's odd, because the Lenovo I have at home has a perfectly sane keyboard (except chicklet, but I don't care about that)
[05:39] <rww> but yeah, glad we're going with HP for new stuff at work
[05:40] <arrith> that is odd
[05:40] <rww> idk, maybe they have different designers for different models, and some of them are very very stoned
[05:42] <arrith> hm, well, just all the cool kids go either macbook pro or x1 carbon these days. i dislike both. but a retina macbook air might be ok, i really need to build a desktop workstation first though actually
[05:42] <arrith> haha
[05:42] <arrith> post ibm ties things got /weird/ in the lenovo labs
