Quite incredible that this guy ( #Thinkpad x200s) - who is now at least 12 years old - is still alive and kicking! :blobrat_aww:

Also, this was the best keyboard ever, the Lenovo keyboards have been downgraded since then to become blend just like any other laptop keyboard. The trackpoint still works perfectly on it while it doesn't on my more recent lenovo (T490s, about 6 y.o.).
The fingerprint reader is much more reliable.
The screen is perfect, while T490 has a dead pixel band at the top.
It has a WiFi switch (😍) and a removeable battery.

Why are things getting worse instead of getting better? 😕

I still have a A22m as well that has an awesome keyboard and a trackpoint that still functions better than the cheap imitations on laptops a tenth of it's age, it's wild how downhill laptop keyboards and pointers went, IBM had it DOWN and once they sold to lenovo the only thing they cared about was "cheaper" :/
