I plan on using my quad core T520 for probably another 5+ years. All of their laptops after the T520 series have the full size keyboard with numberpad which off-sets the center of the keyboard, so now your typing is mostly happing on the left side of the keyboard and that causes wrist strain.
Having a numberpad is really lame on a laptop. I won't buy one and I know of no one else that likes the numberpad either.. sadly many manufactures are doing the same.
Wow this was actually going to be a major buying factor in my next Laptop, was really considering a gaming laptop for the numpad but I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to buy a bluetooth numpad for the right side of the keyboard/get used to the numbers above the keyboard. Thanks for this angle. Never considered wrist strain.
