Hands-on with Lenovo's new Ideapads {Engadget}

Jan 7th 2008 6:36AM I sure hope the T-series will be kept alive... although the ideapad looks cool, here are the first couple things that I'm wondering about, just by looking at the photos:
* Home and End keys no longer exist independently! 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!
