Their hardware build quality is brilliant on all there products. It's
not just about the resolution though. Yes I absolutely love the
crispness of hi-res displays, but I'm a creature of habit (aka old
school), and just can't get the damn hang of OSX keyboard shortcuts, or
their physical keyboard layout (no PgUp/PgDn, Home, End etc). Ok, ok, I
do have a thing for keyboards too (I own a ton of them) - after all, the
keyboard is my main input method for a computer. eg: in Lazarus on OSX I
pressed F12 to see the form designer, but OSX grabbed the shortcut and
rather showed be the useless desktop widgets (clock, calendar etc)
screen. This is why I don't use Desktop Environments even under FreeBSD
or Linux. Instead I use old school (again) Window Managers like JWM, so
that nothing steels my keyboard shortcuts. ;-)
