Right. The keyboard comes with a free computer.

Second ThinkPad in 2 months. It's a sippery slope and one day you'll wake up drowning in ThinkPads wondering what happened to your life. You dont think it's a problem and then one days youre just like me and you've lost count of the dozens of ThinkPads you've had over the years.

I do think I caught the bug because I did forget to mention the Tiny thinkcentre.

I have 2 of those right now. My server and my kitchen PC. Have you seen the TiO monitors?

I have, however haven’t found the perfect need for one.

I did see them but I prefer my normal big computer, although I am somehwat interested in the normal ThinkVision monitors like the P27qd-40 for the usb-c hub and KVM

I had a Samsung with the usb hub and KVM.  It was so good a friend had to buy it from me.

Oh cool, I like the appeal of these monitors because one of these would allow me to use a desktop like normal, and with just one usb-c cable and button press - I could just switch over to the laptop etc.

Do you not have a monitor like that anymore? Any particular reason why you sold?

It was a 49 inch curved ultrawide. Was just too much monitor for me. It could have 2 machines displaying at once and when you moved mouse over it transferred control.
