Typing this from a Thinkpad with a trackpoint, I couldn't disagree more :) (though I'd as soon chop off my fingers as use the Dell version of the trackpoint).

- seanmcdirmid 12y agoMy X1's trackpad is horrible, but thankfully it comes with the eraser mouse, which is accurate even if it hurts my finger tip. The Yoga has no such option like the X1 does, which is why I would avoid it. Why can't just one PC vendor who can make a decent trackpad...
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoTo the downvoters, the Yoga 2 Pro really doesn't have a trackpoint as parent implied, just the trackpad + touch.
- thinkmassive 12y agoThere is a ThinkPad Yoga that does have a trackpoint though. It's different from the other Yoga models, which are in the IdeaPad line. Seems like Lenovo is determined to test the limits of just how many models their customers will tolerate. They're creating a new model for practically every feature instead of creating new options for existing models that are tried and true. I'd prefer they quit diluting the classic ThinkPad lines with experimental models, and up the quality on IdeaPad because they already have a value line called 3000 or something. When I can find a trackpoint with a high res (2k+) screen I'll start shopping again.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoYes, there is one Yoga that has the trackpoint, but this is the one with the low res screen that isn't very interesting. I really want a Yoga 2 Pro, but the lack of a decent pointing system, even if it is the finger hurting trackpoint, bother me. I might just have to man up and buy an MacBook Pro.
