up_the_irons: mnathani: no problem; i actually fixed that already. it's $27 for the 6 month period, so you'll see a separate invoice for that
(just this time) mike-burns: The new Thinkpad keyboards feel just like the old ones. up_the_irons: mike-burns: but the chicklet style is super annoying mike-burns: It looks weird, but I haven't noticed a difference in feel.
I switched between a T61, T420s, and X1 regularly, and I also have the external Thinkpad USB keyboard. They all feel the same to me.
Same loudness, same reaction feel. CaZe: Like yo'mamma. mike-burns: Zing! m0unds: my buddy got a new model (w-series) and the keyboard felt a lot different than the 06-era one i use at work
old thinkpad had some tactility to it, new one feels like a cheap scissor action kb from any regular laptop
that isn't to say they're bad, just not the same as they were. we ended up getting an hp elitebook in lieu of another thinkpad for an extra tech notebook, that's part of why gizmoguy: yeah I think my next laptop isn't gonna be a thinkpad :( ***: lteo has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)

<3 my lenovo thinkpad gizmoguy: i've got a t500 at the moment
i'm just not sure what I'd upgrade to that would feel the same mike-burns: I don't fully understand their numbering scheme. jpalmer: they dont either. m0unds: w-series are like workstation replacements
or something
we have a couple of those, both have discrete graphics and stuff gizmoguy: they used to use T/X/W
but now they seem to like "ideapad" and "yoga" as product lines
alongside the regular T/X/W m0unds: ... mike-burns: Plus there's a T440 selling alongside a T430. m0unds: the elitebook we got is pretty nice - i7 quad core, 8gb ram, quadro gpu mike-burns: I really liked my X1 Carbon. m0unds: magnesium chassis, but it's still kinda heavy
i couldn't find one locally to check out or i mighta gotten one instead of my macbook gizmoguy: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/yoga/yoga-2-pro/
the yoga 2 pro looks kinda cool m0unds: huh. gizmoguy: but I think i may just go macbook :/ m0unds: interesting gizmoguy: 3200x1800 display m0unds: yeah, that's wacky gizmoguy: can't buy it in my country easily though m0unds: toshiba had a high end ultrabook type thing come out earlier this year, looked nice
price sucked though

couple with open source underpinnings
coupled* gizmoguy: m0unds: out of interest, what phone do ya rock? m0unds: lumia 920
