I really don&#x27;t mind the keyboard on my X230. Then again, I don&#x27;t see the point of caps lock or trackpads. The layout is a bit annoying when I switch back and forth to a T61, but that&#x27;s due to the difference rather than inherent superiority. If the keyboard dies, I will obviously consider replacing it with an X220 keyboard but nothing makes me want to do that preemptively.<p>The plastic case seems a bit flimsy, but so far hasn&#x27;t broken. And obviously having a shortscreen sucks, but I accepted that tradeoff for the LED backlight and better specs.
