I don't understand why others downvoted you.

I personally also prefer a traditional ThinkPad keyboard, trackpad and trackpoint (up to T420/X220 series).

I won't buy any notebook with these slim keys, that might look stylish and fashionable. I need a business notebook for work and IBM ThinkPad and early Lenovo ThinkPad were robust and very good at that.

The first manufacturer that learns from their recent mistakes, be it Lenovo/HP/Dell/etc, will be the winner.

But if it takes too long, maybe someone should start a kickstarter campaign and produce truly business notebooks without any compromises with a 1500-2500$ price tag. A traditional keyboard, trackpad, trackpoint, robust plastic frame, maybe even a 4:3 IPS screen (1600x1200 or higher).



Hell I'd pay $500 just to port the keyboard over from an X201 to a newer model.
