You're on the wrong board.

They're better because you can't use touchpads with gloves. If you work outdoors and need a laptop that works in harsh environments, the trackpoints great.

Good compromise between utility of mice and portability of trackpads. You can switch back and forth between mousing and typing very quickly, and most modern implementations let you hold down a button to turn the trackpoint into a scroll controller.

kek. dell doesn't even sell that shit anymore.

and Lenovo themselves don't even put that shit on most of their laptops.

that shit is a fucking dinosaur. tech that never caught on yet there's few die-hard grampas who can't give it away because after 20 years of trying to use that shit, they finally mastered it.

it's as stupid as pic related.

I personally like the far left one... it's the best in my opinion mostly because it's not the fuzzy one, but I do appreciate the convex top, and the texture.

My Dell has one that's kind of like the one second from the left, and it's also good.

Basically as long as it's not that fuzzy one... dust magnet, finger grease sponge. No good for longevity. :(

Far Left - feels like cat tongue, personally my favorite. only gripe is that after using it for a while my finger has an indent.

Far Right - nice and smooth, but for me it pops out too easily.

Middle Left - haven't used that.

Middle Right - probably least favorite, creates an indent on my finger faster than all the other ones.

Bought a carbon x1 first gen when they first released, first ever thinkpad.

Normal trackpad cracks and breaks. Continue to use red non never having used it before in my life, 3 years later finally replace cracked trackpad because looking at selling to upgrade to newest version.

Can no longer use trackpad at all feels slow and horrible position. Is this normal?

how long do you use your computer for? I use mine for at least 10hrs every day. I also take lecture notes with it. that means I do a lot of typing. after few hours, every one of those model M keys feels like it takes a pound to activate.

if you're just shitposting on 4chan or you use it to press WASDZ to play gayems or you use it as a prop in shitty /BST/ threads, then you probably like that chunk of shit.

if you actually do a lot of typing, that thing is utter garbage.

I asked you nicely how long you use your computer and how much you type and you just resorted to an insult without actually answering a question. and you've obviously never even used magic keyboard. at least read some reviews from people who do transcriptions and type a lot.

all you old hipsters and nostalgia fags are idiots. you act as if in 40 fucking years, no one has managed to improve anything when it comes to keyboards. fucking decades of ergonomics research, according to you retards, hasn't produced a thing... and the only good keyboard is some antiquated shit from 1980s.
