Also no serial RS232 port, no SCSI port, not even a floppy drive. /s

To be fair, a track point has to go right in the middle of the keyboard to be of any value. A USB serial is functional as a dongle for the subset of people that need that. Same for floppy and scsi for that matter.

Given that almost everyone has gone to chiclet keys with space between keycaps, I'm almost surprised that no one has tried to market a glue-on bluetooth track point for those who demand them.

Although some people think of the trackpad as an evolution and the next, better, version of the trackpoint, this is not a universal opinion.

This is really a matter of preference / workflow.
