[Rumor] Future of HP notebook keyboards
I heard a rumor (but it has nothing to do with Bananarama)… HP is moving towards using chiclet-style keyboards on future notebook PCs. Apparently the decision has something to do with improved ergonomics and the tactile feel of such keyboards. A little bird said that chiclet keyboards will first appear in the business and mini notebook lines in the next announcement of upgrades this year. Some models (Presumably higher end? Or as an option?) will have backlit keys. [/end of rumor].
Informative note: What the heck is a chiclet keyboard? Some people also call them “island keys”; it’s the design that Sony and Apple computers have been using (if you don’t know what a chiclet-style keyboard looks like, check this out or look it up on Wikipedia)
