- SoMomentary 2mo agoI'm unfortunately really unimpressed with the Trackpoints coming out of Lenovo today. I have a brand new ThinkPad that suffers from drift everyday, so it's easy for me to see why other companies aren't including Trackpoints on their products.
- cung 2mo agoI’d argue it’s a superior mouse even with the drift, even though I agree that the drift is annoying and am amazed they have not been able to fix it all these years.
- SoMomentary 2mo agoI still use it everyday, but it is definitely a love/hate relationship. I imagine I'll switch to an ergonomic keyboard with trackpoint someday soon.
- ornornor 2mo agoThere is no good Lenovo hardware anymore. It’s been completely swallowed by the Chinese company that bought it, and even the formerly “noble”/enterprise lines are junk now. Same as HP.
- 100percentjake 2mo agoMuch less "today", I have horrible chronic drift problems with my 2019-era X1 Gen 7, which is super disappointing.
