Why thinkpads for Coding

Once you play a keyboard that is soft and pleasant to the touch, you know that everything will be easier, if you comfortably write.
Once you see the keyboard, as you walk around your workplace, your brain creates an image of you doing it, and this can be more pleasurable if you know that pressing each button will be smooth to the touch. This small but significant difference could make your programming day more or less creative and make the way you experience your workplace or studio more comfortable.

Many laptops today and over time have been designed based on all sorts of aspects leaving things like webcams, which are in high demand during the current crisis, or keyboards, which have become vital as the most important content creation tool in existence, replacing pen and paper to a level never seen before.

The mythical ThinkPad's are those laptops that perfectly fulfill all the requirements that any developer would need to complete all tasks in and out of the development environment.

There is something in keyboard jargon, known as key travel, which is basically the ability of your fingers to move from one key to another without having to mistakenly press other keys in the process. Many developers need to be able to type as much code as possible in small chunks of time, always being on the tightest of timelines. For this, it is necessary that this tool is as accurate as possible, and taking into account the code that is written, even more important, knowing that a letter comma or command that is too much or too little, can incur in ruining the work of hours and sacrificing early mornings of sleep.

The compatibility with all types of Linux flavors and the versatility of this equipment to adapt to different programs for professional and daily use, make this equipment ideal for all types of work, as well as the resistance of the same.

If you are a developer, content creator or are in any area related to technology and work from home, you will understand that there is nothing better than waking up in the morning and having that feeling of peace in which you know that although the work you are going to develop during the day is complicated, there will always be the necessary equipment to face that battle in the most comfortable and satisfactory way possible for your body and mind.
