yeah at first it's odd, but then when you start getting used to
navigating without removing hands from keyboard it does become almost a
prerequisite. 
does anyone know if you can get usb keyboards that have the trackpoint
style mini-joystick in the middle of them ?

the other big thing with the thinkpads used to be the keyboards. the
x201 had a great almost totally full size keyboard, but they are
increasingly becoming a thing of a bygone era with apple style
calculator buttons that have nothing like the tactile response they used
to have. as lenovo are moving away from these big-key style keyboards,
does anyone have any recommendations of a laptop supplier that is
starting to use them ?
