> 3 physical button trackpoint with textured nub gifted upon us by the Thinkpad Gods of old

Ah how I wish I still had a laptop with the nub (even if it had a touch pad too). I've never really understood why that didn't become standard since I think Toshiba and maybe even Dell had a variant of it.

The multi-gesture touch pads are nice, but for precision and minimal interference without a standard desk mouse the nub is supreme.
