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
