And notably as touchpads have improved, most of the makers have stopped including TrackPoints. Lenovo is the main holdout.

Still waiting for Framework to introduce a keyboard with a trackpoint included, but apparently the room allocated for the keyboard is too thin for it to be possible.

Is a trackpoint the same as a pointing stick?

[rjh29]

Yeah, TrackPoint is the ThinkPad term for it and very usable. The quality of other brands of pointing stick is highly variable.
