    means that when u press down on the keyboard hard enough the base "flexes" down around that area instead of staying sturdy and flat

    It’s a new technology in recent Lenovo notebooks that prevents the ever-common fingeritis. People who experience fingeritis have extreme pain in their finger tips, which is the direct result of using and typing on rigid and “overly” solid keyboards. Lenovo, in order to reduce their legal liability, has reengineered their notebook keyboards to reduce the risk of fingeritis—and, as such, the keyboards are now far more flexible and bend when pressure is applied to them. It was once thought that Lenovo patrons preferred rigid and solid keyboards, but the massive outcry from fingeritis suffers led Lenovo engineering to a breakthrough design that prevents this serious ailment.
