These keys are used quite often!!!
* pencil eraser not available, I personally dislike touchpads
* keyboard light may not be there, will truly be missed unless the keyboard has is lit like the Macs
* on larger machine the keyboard isn't centered - Lenovo isn't the only one who does this, but is it only me that dislikes an off-center keyboard?

ThinkPads were loved by many due to the extreme attention to detail, down to the great feel of the keyboard as well as simple things like: Don't put the USB ports on the lower right side where a user uses a mouse!

These laptops have NOTHING to do with Thinkpads. They are not replacements. The Ideapads are a different line, totally separeate from Thinkpads. Ideapads = consumer notebooks, Thinkpad = business notebooks. Kind of like how Dell has the Inspiron and Lattitude models, one aimed for average consumers and another targeted towards businesses.

Thinkpad lovers, you may now pull your underwear out of your crack. Thinkpads are here to stay.]]>Jan 7th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-lenovos-new-ideapads/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-lenovos-new-ideapads/Jan 7th 2008 4:59PM
