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).
