Sure. That's why Cherry went out of business years ago...
Lots of companies stay in business selling subjective experiences. But there isn't a functional advantage to keyboards with a lot of feedback.
Maybe my expectations are unrealistic, but I'm convinced we've taken a step backward in the last year or so.

Got any research to show that? Or should I just assume that your personal opinion is worth more than everybody elses'?

Slightly off topic, but has anyone had luck with a (preferably intel) 3x3 wifi adaptor? I want one for a desktop. The linked one is 2x2, and amazon has a m.2->pcie wifi adaptor for $17. I have a 3x3 broadcom now, but it occasionally disassociates with the access point (and the box suffers from undiagnosed kernel hangs whether I plug an nvidia or amd video card into it...)
Linux Intel support is the best of all vendors, as far as I can tell. They have dedicated Linux driver devs and their specs are open. The quality of their drivers reflects this. In future I'll walk wide circles around anything broadcom.

I'll probably buy one anyway.

Qualcomm Atheros also has dedicated devs for their Linux driver. Broadcomm stopped making wireless cards for the PC market earlier this year.
Except maybe they explicitly removed linux support:

I can't find a hardware rev number on on the amazon page (was 1.0 ever sold to the public?). Also, the amazon page says it is for engineering samples only / contact vendor before ordering. Hmm.

I have an X1 Yoga (a touchscreen equivalent of the X1 Carbon) with an OLED display and it's absolutely gorgeous . It's much better than the ~1 year old Mac Book Pro I have for work. The colors and contrast are incredible—it can even render a black that doesn't glow at all.
The Carbon is touchscreen, just not a convertible.
They really should write that it has USB-C charging in bigger letters (see http://www3.lenovo.com/medias/ww-lenovo-laptop-thinkpad-x1-c... for the evidence).
nice! hope that comes to the next x1 yoga model too
What happened to the Carbon touch? This would be my next computer except it doesn't have touch. As a developer I use Chrome dev tools emulator with my Thinkpad W510 to perform touch testing. Plus it is fantastic for annotating presentations (Ubuntu, Compiz Annotate plugin).

> MacBooks have good software that works I just spent my entire workday struggling to figure out why `kernal_task` was constantly using 16gb of RAM. Whenever people say macOS "just works" I assume they do nothing but web browse. It's great at that.
Did you figure it out? If not, you may want to try choosing "All processes, hierarchically" from the View menu in Activity Monitor.

Thanks for the tip. I had never even heard of the brand before. It does seem to be a great laptop! http://www.notebookcheck.net/Schenker-S306-Subnotebook-Revie...
And when it breaks, good luck getting support! My time is worth more to go with a big vendor with ubiquitous support.
