Admittedly overdue and also a sign of the end days
Oh its one of those Thinkpads that isn't actually a Thinkpad like the Thinkpad Yogas. My ideal Thinkpad would be a proper release of the T480 25th Anniversary Edition with newer components.
Not a Lenovo icon. They bought ThinkPad, nippleclit and all, from IBM.
Never used trackpoints.
And all my laptops are ThinkPads.
I Always disable both trackpoint and touchpad.
I will not buy a Lenovo without the clitmouse
This, and why do they take away the 2 buttons below the track pad. PC track pads are barely tolerable as it is.
Fewer parts means cheaper to manufacture.
Don't be fooled; they're only doing it to increase profits because our standards aren't higher.
Nobody was using that thing
You mean the nub, or buttons on the trackpad?
I, personally, made use of both back when I had a thinkpad.
I used both. But the track pad buttons are so much easier to use for click and drag operations, left click right click is a button not an Interpreted 2 finger gesture that doesn't always work.
Guillotine time
I actually stopped using mine a long time ago, and every time I get a new laptop, I remove it. Not because I hate it, but because I like it. Even after modifying the acceleration settings to where I like them though, the repeated stress of pushing on the nub eventually start to develop dendonitis in my finger.
After I've trained myself to only use the trackpad I put the nub back on. Partly because it's so iconic it just looks wrong without it, and partly because I want to avoid conversations with guest about my growing clit graveyard (although I guess I could just not leave them in a cup on the coffee table where everyone can see)
my growing clit graveyard
How do you have more than, like, 3? How often do you change laptops?
At least 2...
I think you're overstimulating. You need to be gentle, which benefits both of you. Try resting it on or near the nub and applying gentle pressure.
It's super handy on my X1c 6thgen when my trackpad randomly freezes about once a month and I need to shut everything down and reboot. Bah.
Open to tips for fixing the trackpad if anyone has that on their radar!
I prefer it over trackpad, honestly. Just adjust the acceleration.
Edit: looks like they remove it only from Aura line. Please stub your toe somewhere, author.
