One of their seven main points explaining why they stick with Lenovo laptops “for Linux” is the red tracking nib.
In my roughly decade of experience in IT, the only people who enjoy those are people who won’t ever use anything other than a Lenovo laptop in the first place.
Take this article with a grain of salt.
- iamevn 5y agoI enjoy using the track point because being able to do simple mouse actions without leaving the home row is wonderful. If I need to use the mouse a lot/precisely I use a touch pad or an external mouse though. I do sorta fit the "won't ever use anything other than a Lenovo laptop" bill, tried a chromebook for work and liked it for a few years until the pandemic meant I needed to use it all the time. So I switched to an X1 Carbon and it's solid. I miss the old thinkpad keyboards with real key travel.
