When I bought my first laptop with a university discount, I could only buy thinkpads and was a little worried because it had no touchpad at all. Luckely, I bought one anyway. The trackpoint is awesome, like the thinkpad's themselves. I only had to replace one motherboard once (2 days until I got hte motherboard back) on an old R32. It still works today, even though it has now 5 years. As does a T42 and T60 which are used daily.
