Yeah I find it very hard to be precise with the trackpoint, it's probably possible but most of the time generally seemed to move too slow and then hard to zero in on the target.

Touchpads make it super easy to deal with acceleration better I found.

While I'm not the person you're replying to, I always felt like I should have liked the trackpoint more than I did. I could never manage very precise movements with it -- and I learned that if you flail around with a pointing device, it's definitely slower than a keyboard, even if it's built into the keyboard. :)
