The keyboards are garbage too. Can't stand typing on laptop keyboards and every one I've tried (mostly Dells at work) has been shit for the last 15 years. I bought a $10 bluetooth keyboard for my tablet that's a better experience and smaller than a laptop for fucks sake.

They got a lot worse after 2010 when "thin" happened. I've got an NEC laptop from 1998 that has an excellent keyboard.

Yea I have an old Toshiba Satellite laying around that has an awesome keyboard. It's too old to really do anything with but I love the design of it. The annoying thing is that Bluetooth keyboard I mentioned is compact as most laptops yet it still manages to have a good tactile feedback when you type on it and it was cheap so we know it can be done. Most laptops just feel "squishy" and start missing keystrokes if you type too fast. The worst I've encountered was one of the ones Microsoft offered for the Surface that was just a solid rubber thing. The keys didn't actually press at all. I can't understand what they were thinking with that. They had another option with actual keys but it wasn't very good either even by laptop standards.
