I've bought numerous Thinkpads and I still can't find myself using them daily because of the awful trackpads. It's not even the tracking, it's the amount of force you need to put on the trackpad to get it to register a click. Also the lack of media keys on Thinkpads is outdated and annoying. If Lenovo fixes these two things I'd gladly use a Thinkpad as my daily laptop.

First thing I do on a lenovo thinkpad is disable the trackpad, trackpoint FTW.
Meanwhile Dell just removed the media keys and replaced them with more calc related keys on the most recent precision lineup. Also moved end and home into the F row. I mean WTF.
That is because people who like Thinkpads tend to use the nipple instead.
