Two pairs of physical "mouse" buttons - one for the touchpad and second for trackpoint (red "dot") - look quite unusual.
Especially in comparison to the new Z13 model[1] in which Lenovo has ditched buttons-buttons on top of the touchpad in favor of an area of touchpad acting as buttons for both trackpoint and touchpad. My T-series has physical buttons-buttons for the trackpoint on top of the touchpad and bottom area of the touchpad acting as buttons for the touchpad. I haven't tested neither Z13 model (not yet released) nor the old W-series but I think Z-series may be a downgrade.
Seriously, the trackpoint/touchbar from MacBooks is the only thing I miss after switching to ThinkPads.

- goosedragons 4y agoLenovo keeps trying to kill the trackpoint. With the T440 they also killed the trackpoint physical buttons but people HATED it so they brought them back for future T series devices. The Z line is their attempt to do it again. I hope it stays contained there.
