People have short memories but the X1 Carbon Gen2 had a dynamic key strip that was so bad that it got replaced with physical buttons in Gen3.

Or the product is so obscure no one knows what it is? You could have just listed the name of an experimental plane for all I know.

Also, if that is true, perhaps what's truly new is that its actually usable. That's pretty much Apple's thing - making things more usable/useful.

Never heard of Thinkpads before?

Op didn't mention Thinkpad. Just mentioned X2 Carbon Something or other.

That could be a jet plane from Lockheed Martin or a Thinkpad...

X-1 is hardly a unique name for a product, even limiting it to computers. Context matters.

The jury is still out on that one.

Did you just call ThinkPads obscure?
