And then of course there's also trackpoint drift.
- mgerullis 6y agoIf I am not supposed to use the trackpad, why bother adding it? Also trackpoints IMHO are very inferior to trackpads. Personally I have become very used to switching between apps, zooming and clicking with my MacBooks. So natural.
- culopatin 6y agoI never understood what is so good about the track point. I tried it, I am 3 times slower than with the trackpad. I overshoot, or move to slow, or I need to do micro adjustments, what do you use it for?
