A trackpoint is an absolutely non-negotiable requirement for me, so I bought several lenovo bluetooth keyboards, set them up for all the desktops I use, and kept a few spare in case they are discontinued.

What do you use trackpoint for? I' always had trackpoint but never found any need for it when you already have nice touchpad.
Not leaving home row is hugely useful.

Trackpads on laptops have always for me attracted stray an unwanted interactions. Trackpoints not.

I find using a mouse far less distracting. The fact that it can be placed well away from the keyboard helps.

For me: Moving the mouse without your fingers leaving home row.
