Do you use the eraserhead on the Thinkpad? I ask because most users (including here) probably use the touchpad, and non-Mac touchpads are 10+ years behind and borderline unusable.
I've tried a mac (because I like to keep my options opened) but I have found the trackpad to be only slightly better (mostly bigger), while the lack of trackpoint ("eraserhead") was painful
It would be pretty amazing if that was available on Macs, but honestly, the touchpad is good enough that it's probably not needed (unlike most other laptops).
People keep saying this but somehow the rest of the world manages to use their touchpads just fine.
Just a little different from the apple ones I use but really quite usable.
Trouble with PCs is you're comparing Apple kit with anything from cheap consumer gear by Asus, Dell, and HP with hilarious results.
Whilst they're all running similar chipsets the materials used are all very different.
If fact do any laptops have the glassy feel of Mac trackpads?
I know if I were going from my Lenovo and using a Mac, I'd have very negative feelings about the Mac, until I had three months continuous usage under my belt.
