That depends. Does the keyboard on the thinkpad work?

Why? Unless you're avid about the Track point, you're going to have a USB mechanical attached.

Unless I have an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, using an external keyboard with a laptop is a shitty experience for me. And if I’m at home and trying to get work done, I’m using my desktop PC.

Do people really use a secondary keyboard when laptops already have one? Generally attached to the screen and non-removable?

Yes indeed! I use a QWERTY with international layout because I will not use an AZERTY keyboard ever again to do any sort of work. Fuck that noise.

If they have a nub instead of a track pad, yes

But nubs are superior to trackpads!
