removing the nub from ThinkPad is like removing cheese from a cheeseburger.

it'll still be a laptop, but a nubless ThinkPad will always look wrong.

    I almost didn't buy a ThinkPad back in the day before I leaned that you can swap it. Such a stupid design

    Control back in the right place... where you can press it with your left pinkie without taking your fingers off the home keys? Rather than where useless caps lock is just wasting space?
