Reference is old enough that we're not sure if you're joking.

Reference is old enough that we're not sure if you're joking.
- nine_k 4y agoNot joking at all, I hope. The trackpoint is very convenient: you don't have to move your hands off the home row just to move mouse pointer.
- commoner 4y agoThinkPads are still popular, so I don't see this as a joke. A pointing stick (TrackPoint) is excellent for people who want to use both the keyboard and the mouse while moving their hands as little as possible. Unfortunately, the StarFighter has soldered memory, which is one of the main drawbacks of new ThinkPad models. Star Labs also sells the mid-range StarBook laptop with replaceable memory and the low-end StarLite laptop with soldered memory. On the other hand, Star Labs is Linux-first and pays the developers of the pre-installed Linux distribution configured in the order, which is an advantage over Lenovo for Linux users.
