You knew the question was coming. ThinkPad style trackpoint keyboard!

Hah, I'm curious if this is legally possible. I've never seen that on any non-ThinkPad laptop.

I recall Dell had laptops in the past at some point that had blue trackpoint-like nubs

And they were complete trash in comparison to the ones on ThinkPads imo.

I don't think more modern ThinkPads are much better... they have a shorter keyboard depth than the earlier models and the feel overall is significantly reduced... I understand as most people don't generally want a "thick" notebook.

I agree, they used to be a lot better.

The beefier business line models are still decent though.
