... Is that a trackpoint on it??
It's a "shut up and take my money" system for me; I've dream of a netbook/micropc with trackpoint and keyboard taking as much space as it can for about 12-13 years now. Thx!
- pabs3 4y agoLooks like a power button to me.
- soneil 4y agoThe GPD Pocket (1) which the commenter speaks of has a trackpoint. The GPD Micro (in the article) doesn't.
- jabbany 4y agoYes, it is on the Gen 1, but the Gen 1 has a lot of other deficiencies in the HW that make it not so great as a daily driver today. The OneMix ones have a capacitive trackpoint that's not as good (-> it works like a tiny trackpad area), but they also have touchscreens. IMO the newer GPD Win ones are probably the best implementation of mousing on a small devices. You have all the options: A touchscreen, A small trackpad, and A joystick that has a mouse mode which behaves like a trackpoint.
- zwayhowder 4y agoI was so sad when I specifically ordered an HP laptop for work (The other choice was Dell) to get the keyboard with a trackpoint on it, only to find out that the HP layout only has two buttons. It turns out my years of ThinkPad training has given me permanent muscle memory that the button underneath the middle of the space bar is middle mouse and therefore paste :)

- sound1 4y agoWorst part: they got rid of the insert key to accommodate dedicated call and hangup keys for MS Teams.
- gsibble 4y agoThat's unconscionable.
- zwayhowder 4y agoI feel personally attacked :(
