In no uncertain terms I absolutely detest the x230 keyboard. I am none too happy about the location of Insert on the x220.<p>It is like using a cheap acer&#x2F;toshiba laptop from Argos. A common question I have using them is &#x27;where have the HW UX geniuses decided to put this button I want to use?&#x27;.<p>Cheap laptops are fine by me, but that&#x27;s not what I want from a thinkpad.<p>The fact that there is a difference at all is the inherent superiority, a standard layout that stood the test of time and changed for the sake of saving a few pennies.<p>The fact that you would consider replacing it if it dies with an x220 keyboard (thanks for the info I didn&#x27;t know that was possible) shows that you do mind it to a small extent.<p>The keyboard is a very common complaint: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.the-compiler.org&#x2F;?p=134" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.the-compiler.org&#x2F;?p=134</a> - also see the comments.<p>Also in addition to my prior whining about lenovo, their customer support and returns policy is nowhere near as good as IBM&#x27;s was. A friend was sent the wrong laptop and after returning it &amp; huge delays lenovo failed to source the correct laptop. He bought a dell.<p>Richard Sapper, the German industrial designer who orchestrated the look of the iconic laptop for IBM, died 83 years old. I&#x27;m blaming lenovo, he&#x27;s probably spinning in his grave.
