I see. I haven't tried the Thinkpads since before they were sold to Lenovo, so perhaps they are superior.

I am in the market for a new laptop, so perhaps I should give them a chance. Not really for the pointers, but they do seem to be fine laptops overall.

Yeah. I got a Dell for my day job and unfortunately the nipple is entirely unusable. I miss my ThinkPad :/

Same here. I had big hopes for Dell's nipple, but it's hardly usable and I tend to prefer the touchpad.

On my own Lenovo, I use the nipple exclusively, and touchpad is disabled completely. I had played Quake vs other human players with the nipple and won, and I find it vastly superior to any kind of touchpad.

Can confirm. Dell's nipples are unusable. Nothing like the Thinkpad ones.
