Half the allure of a Thinkpad is the trackpoint though.
- jsharf 8y agoI don't understand trackpoint. I've tried flat & adaptive pressure profiles and a mix of different sensitivities. I always overshoot what I'm trying to click on a tiny bit. With a macbook touchpad, that just doesn't happen at all. Also, it feels like the force and dexterity to use a trackpoint puts a bit too much pressure on my finger. I've tried using a trackpoint for a while. I desperately regret switching my corp laptop from a macbook to thinkpad several months ago. Linux is nice, but now I have to deal with this really shitty trackpad for over another year until my refresh.
- dj-wonk 8y agoThe track point to me feels very unnatural. Do you switch fingers to give yourself a break?
- denebo 8y agoI like the trackpoint because of the nostalgia factor, but in terms of dexterity, speed, and accuracy, there's no way it can compare to a trackpad.
