Keyboard

AccuType, chiclet, modern, island style, precision keyboard

M/T, manufacturers?

F3 (power manager), F4 (sleep) not working lock screen (F2) instead on pre-ship

typing not a problem, but

- no more pause, break, scrlk, sysRq keys - use Fn+P,B,K,S
- no ThinkPad Light key (Fn-PgUp)- Fn+Spacebar to cycle low, high brightness (for backlight keyboard), ThinkLight, Off



- enter not blue anymore
- no more Full Screen Magnifier (Fn-spacebar)
- no Fn-F8 ultranav
- no Fn-F12 hibernate
- no more property key
- no numlk key
- no numpad keys
- the F1-F12 without gaps between group of 4 (gaps only in X1 carbon keyboard, no fair?)
- much smaller Esc, Del
- PrtScn between right Alt-Ctrl
- CapsLock no longer has LED
- Home/End horizontal instead of vertical
- Pg Up/Pg Dn on opposite side of up
- recessed TrackPoint (not raised)

(this one has blue button and label ThinkVantage, some are black without label)
