Lenovo laptops

Hello I was told by Lenovo that they do not have any separation from the arrows with their keyboards and I like the separation of the arrow keys, not a big separation just to know that they are the arrow keys. Also the rep said, they did not have the application key on the keyboard! Also that I could not turn off my track pad so when I type, I do not move the track pad while I am typing! So any one who has a Lenovo is this correct? Cheers Heather

Hi, At least on my ThinkPad, the bottom-right keys are arrow keys plus Page Up and Page Down keys (next to the up arrow key). Cheers, Joseph

Heather,
There are different models of Lenovo laptops; some have the full sized keyboard and some don’t.

I have the L 540. It has the full keyboard, I mean the numpad. It's

arrow keys are close together, but the down arrow has a raised lip/line. That makes it easier for me to feel it, but I'm guessing someone with better sensitivity (or normal touch) will feel it better. I've not found an applications key, but where one would be on my keyboard there is a print screen button.... I plan on using sharpkeys to re map that to appliccations when I get a chance.

I got rid of my Lenovo - no application, plus a Function key in my way. I don't remember anything annoying about the arrows, but $15 for a Logitech works fine for me.

The application key is the same as pressing shift+F10.

Yes, but many people including myself prefer a dedicated Applications key.

My friend had a laptop without an applications key, so I used sharp keys to give him one.

It might be something that's specific to certain models, but yes,
the ability to turn off the touch pad on some of them does indeed
work. He either needs to do a little better on his research or
perhaps the model he's telling you about doesn't have the ability.
Mine as an example has two different pointing devices, the touchpad
and the trackpoint, which is sorta like a little joystick slightly
below and between the g and h keys on the keyboard, so normaly I
disable the touchpad and only use the trackpoint.

Heather, on both my Lenovo and my wife’s the down arrow has a tactile mark on it similar to that on the F or J. If you want to remap a key (I usually remap the print screen) to the applications key use a utility like Sharp Keys. If you order your Lenovo with the Trackpoint input “joystick” you can turn off the trackpad in mouse properties. HTH
