Am I the only one who prefers the red nubs on on Thinkpads? I find it very hard to use any touchpads. When I used a mac, I would carry around a mouse. I wish thinkpads would get rid of the touchpad. I'm perfectly happy with just using the nub.

I'm also in trackpoint camp.

One think I dont like about them though, is that I have to make the choice whether the middle button is native windows scroll, or thinkpad scroll. The native scroll allows me to middle click links, tabs, windows, but has a delay that makes it almost unusable for scroll. The thinkpad scroll is beautiful, but now the button doesnt function as middle click.

If I choose to use native windows scroll, I end up using 2 finger scroll on the touchpad to counter the trackpoints inability to scroll correctly.

Are there any laptops with two nubs: one for the mouse, one for scrolling? Then one could also put the keyboard in a more comfortable position right where the touchpad is now.

With the Thinkpads there's just the one nub, but the middle mouse button is easily reachable for scrolling.

Not sure if this is a universal feature but on my Thinkpad + Linux Mint setup holding the middle mouse button switches the nub from mouse to scrolling

I would have used that if you could click by tapping on it.

That’s my idea of hell on earth. Gestures are so frictionless compared to a mouse or nub; 3-finger drag, tap to click, inertial scrolling...
