[...] Cum multe persoane servesc pranzul la birou, Lenovo a mic?orat spa?iile dintre taste, pentru a evita blocarea acestora în cazul în care se scapa ceva intre ele. Imbun?t??iri au fost facute ?i touchpad-ului pentru a men?ine dimensiunile mici ale laptopului. Touchpad-ul are o nou? textur? ?i permite utilizatorului s? simt? loca?ia acestuia f?r? s? se uite în jos. De asemenea, datorit? tehnologiei Multi Touch, utilizatorii se bucura de o mai mare accesibilitate a documentelor de pe laptop. Designerul Lenovo, David Hill, a discutat despre aceste imbun?t??iri intr-un videoclip de pe blogul s?u. [...]

I really hope the delete key mod is not permanent. The insert key is vital, I’ve returned countless keyboards for not having the standard Insert-Home-pgup Delete-end-pgdwn

Keep the delete and insert the same!

I don't like the new keyboard layout. You've broken the first rule of a good keyboard: "Thou Shalt Not Mangle The Home Key Cluster". @Mark Laral: +1 for FlexView.

I don’t like what you did to the INS/DEL keys.

Why destroy the classic layout I’m used to?

[...] Design Matters Users spend a lot of time on their keyboards, and a comfortable, easy to use keyboard plays a big role in their overall satisfaction with their PC. Knowing this, Lenovo spends a lot of time perfecting the design of its keyboard. Lenovo found the average user hits the Delete and the Escape key 700 times each a week. To help improve the typing experience, Lenovo made these buttons larger. With many people eating lunch at their desks, Lenovo tightened up the spaces between the keys to help avoid crumbs that would otherwise fall below the keyboard. Improvements were also made to the touchpad in order to help keep the laptop thin. The new touchpad lays flush with the palm rest and has a new, textured feel that allows users to feel the touchpad’s location without looking down. And with multitouch technology on the touchpad, users can easily scroll, pinch and zoom through documents. Lenovo designer, David Hill, discusses many of these improvements in a video on his blog.

My company has started offering 400s ThinkPads to us road warriors, and the design is truly gorgeous. After having spent a few hours with one, however, I went back to my ancient T42 because of one almost silly issue: the display.

I deal with vertical documents, mostly Microsoft Word and web pages. The loss of precious vertical screen real estate was more than I could bear. On my work desktop, I have a widescreen monitor in portrait mode, which is great (but probably impossible to do mechanically on a laptop). As a result, the 1400×1050 4:3 aspect ratio on the T42’s and the 1600×1200 on T60’s was great.

Is there any chance Lenovo would make a new T series Thinkpad with a new 4:3 aspect ratio Thinkpad (ideally with a high-quality screen — does anyone else remember FlexView?) I’d be in laptop heaven.

kadajawi, We have not removed the caps lock key. I mentioned in a interview that it was at times frustrating to users who accidently press it. The key is still there.

Is it true that you have removed the Caps Lock key? If so, that means the T400s is dead for me. I am using it all the time, since my keyboard layout uses the caps lock key as a modifier just like shift, to reach all sorts of symbols such as ( and ?.
