This is why I won't buy another thinkpad after T430 if they don't restore the top buttons for the trackpoint. I get the feeling that ship has sailed; Lenovo seems to want to make second-best Dell or Apple machines instead of first-rate Thinkpad machines. I've a few Thinkpad standalone keyboards (all without the trackpad) and I just assume that with whatever my next laptop is I'll end up using one of those external keyboards. I've even sketched out ideas on how I might modify one so that it can be plopped on top of an existing laptop keyboard without hitting anything.
