No really, I’ve spent the last few days in idle time looking at second-hand ThinkPads.

I’m thinking of getting an older X series or Carbon and putting #NetBSD on it as a lower distraction writing tool.

@rubenerd I did the same some time ago, X220 for the classic keyboard. Did some upgrades and I use it regularly writing documentation in emacs. One of the best choices ever made.
@antenagora Nice :) I’d also love a ThinkPad from just before they boarded the chiclet train.

Hate to say it, but my totally chickletified X390 Yoga has my favorite keyboard in a laptop. I actually prefer it to my X200t.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@rl_dane @antenagora

I used a T5-something at work with a chiclet and it was *way* better than any modern laptop keyboard. I'd take either, but there's something nostalgic and wonderful about that older design too :').

@mirabilos @rubenerd @antenagora

It's not that I love the flat keys, and I'm on the fence about key travel, but the responsiveness and clickiness/tactility is on point.
