Thane,
+1. I fear most/all PC and laptop makers are now down do whatever
'gimmicks' they can do
to produce product to meet production targets. Keyboard for heatsink?
Why not? The keys
are still plastic. That's a reasonable insulator afterall! Interesting.
So glad I built my own back in 1980-2000; and, still run them today.
Amazing!

I just pulled the keyboard off a Lenovo laptop G560 because of water

the keyboard acts as a heat sink for the chipset. I love clever
engineering, but this seems cheap and crappy to me. I mean, really?
The keyboard?
I know Lenovo is quickly becoming the world's largest PC manufacturer,
but I don't think that it's based on anything but price.
