Please feel free to lmk if this isn’t the right place to be asking.

I can’t seem to find any other laptops that use a similar rubberized coating to what the thinkpads have. Do any exist out there?

I think the thinkpads are great but I don’t care for the trackpoint.

Thanks!

    Oh I agree completely, I used to own a t480!

    I’m just curious about other offerings because I’m buying a new laptop for the first time in a while and mostly just miss the coating material and keyboard from the t480. I never used the trackpoint and feel like I can get a more powerful laptop for the price.

    If I could find a more powerful laptop with the same coating and keyboard without the trackpoint I’d be in heaven lol

      Yeah I don’t know as far as the coating is concerned. I have personally had great luck with Asus products, but even by manufacturer I feel like there’s hits and misses as far as build quality. Wish you luck in your hunt.
