Thinkpads have track points, macs don't.

That benchmark is really important to me due to RSI. Track points save me a buttload of hand pain.

I had the opposite issue. Trackpoints stated hurting my hand because it requires significantly more force than the Mac's touchpad.

interesting, I had to stop using my trackpoint because it was giving me rsi in my index finger. the track pad hasn't given me any issues.

Ever since the T450 the trackpoint has been awful.

Can't replace the nob anymore either, as the convex knob was arguably the best
