    For six-layer isoloation keyboard
    Edge 11,13(2010); low priced serise -> Thinkpad X1(2011); Ultrathin Serise-> Thinkpad x230,T430(2012); Original Thinkpad line

    So,keys for the trackpoint might be gone with this trend
    Thinkpad Helix(2012); low priced serise... Kinda -> Thinkpad X230s(2013?); Ultrathin Serise -> Thinkpad X250?,T450?(2014?); Original Thinkpad line

    Will it be going to happen? What do you think?

    However, is a build quality keep decreasing? I just refunded a X230T, and the build quality of it was horrible.

    The scuttlebutt and I've not seen seen anything official from Lenovo is the trackpoint buttons are going the way of the dodo bird. I'd be less than honest if I said I was happy about it, but I'll reserve judgment until I use one. Sometimes things surprise you.

    Sorry to hear your X230t didn't work out. I consider my X220i to be as good as any ThinkPad I've used. Perhaps you got a lemon, which does occasionally happen.

    That's true... but I am just afraid..
    It's possible that I might hads a lemon, but I am pretty sure that a hinge of tablet models had got weaker..

    It's not a matter of "if" but "when".

    Yes. And it will keep on going in the same direction.

    The biggest losers in the price wars are consumers, although a vast majority of them fail to understand that...:rolleyes:
