I would consider a Thinkpad if Lenovo gave us the option of buying it without the nipple - which I feel is an awful pointing device (sorry, people who love it).

You know it has a track pad too right? And you can use a mouse and some of them even have touch screens.

Yes, I know, but I don't want a pointing device that is intermingled with my keyboard.

It can't be the only thing holding you back. You can just not use it if you don't like it.

Just seems like a weird complaint about otherwise excellent laptops.

I have an X1 Yoga and it's pretty good. A little awkward as a tablet, but I rarely use it that way, just as I rarely use the trackpoint.
