I'm interested in purchasing either the Think Pad R60 or Dell Inspiron 1505.
PC Mag. cautions against a "stiff" keyboard on the R60. Has that been a problem for you or is it overstated?
Any opinio0n between the performance of the above 2 computers.
Thanks

The keyboard on the R60 is the same style keyboard as the T60, Z60, and my R50. I really like the feel of the keyboard personally, it has much better feedback than the Inspirons at work, and doesn't have the mushy feel. Traditionally IBM has had 2 different plants manufacture their keyboards for thinkpads. One had a slightly different feel than the other, but both feel very similar.

The above link is a thread regarding that PC mag article.

I've used both. (My sisters work laptop is the R60, and I've recommended the E1505 to multiple friends). It's true, the think pad has a really stiff keyboard and I don't like the flatness of the keys (some people do tho, that's up to you) I really like the E1505. It's a well rounded and capable computer with a nice price to boot. I'd recommend the E1505 and recommend it to you with only the base warranty (I do IT work and so far (for a little over a year) none of my friends have had troubles with it)
