  1. Notebooks unlike desktops lack STANDARD FORM FACTORS which were critical to the spread of the personal computer. Industry standards matter(ed). Notebooks lagged desktop adoption and that was not only ignored but manufacturers correctly saw it as opportunity for vendor lock. We are fortunate SODIMMs, hdds and various other (outsourced, keep that in mind!) components conformed to industry standard form factors or notebooks would be as unrepairable as phones. Re:keyboards, it must be horrifically expensive in industry terms to duplicate the keyboard quality of the early T-series Thinkpads. Every dog wants to piss on its own tree and this is most noticeable in notebook keyboards. Further, were those keyboards a standard form factor they'd be much more customer and repair tech-friendly. It would be interesting to have a video explaining the obviously crushing industry pressures to inflict shite keyboards on the public.
