I like them even on newer ThinkPads just as much, and I've used them on an X1 Carbon with a 4K screen (I do use Linux exclusively, so maybe it's different on Windows). One thing I have noticed is that as the trackpads have gotten bigger, hitting it with your palm becomes much easier, despite any software protections against that. I generally disable the touchpad on newer models, something I never have to do on my old trusty T420s.
- nayuki 4y agoI agree with the grandparent and disagree with the parent. My X220's Synaptics TrackPoint is very responsive and natural, and I can get my work done (though the TrackPad is poor). My X1 Carbon Gen 7's ELAN TrackPoint randomly increases and decreases in sensitivity, I can't get used to it, and I end up using the TrackPad instead (which is decent but I still prefer a good TrackPoint).
- mhb 4y agoI also agree. The whole reason a got an X1 Carbon was that I figured Lenovo couldn't screw up the trackpoint or keyboard too much. I was wrong. The trackpoint frequently meanders off on its merry way and the keyboard is unimpressive and now has some keys which don't work. Even though the screen and sound are a big step up, I'm back on the X220. Naturally, like every device nowadays, they've traded thickness for function so it is also impressively thin. If I enjoyed using the keyboard, I would also be pleased with the battery life.
