Someone should scoop up the niche market of anguished ThinkPad devotees, with a TrackPoint and a good, non-chiclet keyboard. Maybe Framework, leveraging its modular system. Maybe a Framework-compatible third-party.
- soperj 1y agowhat a dumb thing to do. How do you even scroll with the nub?
- rootnod3 1y agoWhy have a trackpoint if there are no buttons? Dafuq?
- neilv 1y agoI think you're supposed to touch the touchpad in particular ways with your thumb, while using your index finger on the TrackPoint stick. I wonder what the set intersection is, between people who want TrackPoint sticks, and people who don't want TrackPoint buttons. ThinkPad industrial design the last several years seems focused on looking thin and sleek -- like an Apple product, only in matte black, with a red accent in the middle of the keyboard -- but some of the human factors changes aren't intuitive to me.
- JoshTriplett 1y agoCurrent models of the X1 have the option of having buttons or not. Which seems fine, but hopefully it isn't a sign that they're trying to drop the option of buttons.
- mrheosuper 1y agoit's the sign they are researching if there are enough demand for the nipple.
- smj-edison 1y agoI just watched Framework's other video talking about what they're working on[1], and they mentioned they're trying to get the trackpoint working, but they're having issues with it damaging the screen due to the low clearance.
