Can't argue with that! Lenovo trackpads seem to alternate between almost usable and utter trash every few years. I usually just plug in a mouse...

I just got a t480s and I feel the trackpad is my main complaint ... it feels kinda plasticky and the responsiveness isn't quite there (e.g. phantom dragging).

Overall, the quality doesn't compare to my 2013 macbook air, but it does have some newer features which're nice.

Lenovos have trackpoint; why would you want to use trackpad, when you have the nub?

Trackpoints slow you down, a lot. They're good for more precise work like dragging bezier handles, not so good if you want to navigate UI's imo.

They have acceleration just like mouse has, so moving the cursor is not a problem. For quick scrolling, there is the middle button + nub (granted, this is not easily discoverable).
