removing the nub from ThinkPad is like removing cheese from a cheeseburger.
it'll still be a laptop, but a nubless ThinkPad will always look wrong.

Thankfully it can be swapped in bios
20 0 ReplySkaveRat @discuss.tchncs.de I almost didn't buy a ThinkPad back in the day before I leaned that you can swap it. Such a stupid design
I also randomly saw today that framework has the opposite option in BIOS. For the people that migrate over

Control back in the right place... where you can press it with your left pinkie without taking your fingers off the home keys? Rather than where useless caps lock is just wasting space?

sugar_in_your_tea @sh.itjust.works It's honestly the only reason I still buy them. If Lenovo removes the nub or Framework adds it, I'm switching to Framework. Give me a 14" T or E series with TrackPoint and I'm happy.
