The TrackPoint Is Safe
- ggm 2y agoNot wishing to 'diss the senior Japanese exec interviewed, I think this is a very weak non-answer. It's safe for now. But, continuance of a thinkpad series denoted by X, with a divergence at X9 to trackpoint-less, begs questions. Why keep the X badging? Oh right.. marketing. So basically, to be a thinkpad now, is all marketing. It's moved way beyond actually being the platform of choice for developers, because for some time now (based on my own experience with an X30, and the DSDT S1/S3 states) they no longer really want to engage with developers. I think when it went to Lenovo, the cracks in the wall started. All praise to the Journalist however. The question needed to be put.
