Trackpad isn't useless, but it not having physical left and right buttons sure is. The worst design decision of laptops is having it one 'pad' that you have to guess where the left and right is.

There are physical buttons above the trackpad. Granted, they are meant for the trackpoint, but they are still there.

Yes, but your palm is resting on the touchpad now, moving it around.

You can disable the trackpad entirely, either via your OS or better yet in the BIOS.
