Will they ever sort out the LHS Ctrl / Fn keys?
Looks like Lenovo have allied themselves with the calue laptop crowd with their left hand Ctrl /Fn key arrangement. Shame given I've always loved the trackpoint with scroll button combination...

Fn/Ctrl keys
Lenovos / IBM have always had that Fn / Ctrl arrangement for as far as I've seen their laptops.
Some people might swear by it, but I'm one of those that prefer a Ctrl-first arrangement. It's the only reason why I don't purchase them... which is a shame really.

horrible touchpad
I have the intel version of the edge 13. This is the worst ever touchpad and a replacement machine, multiple operating system attempts, multiple drivers and configurations later I am disgusted with the horrible touchpad which stalls at random. Bring back IBM for the THINKSPADS please!
