> The entire touchpad is a button and you need to press it and try to move your finger while pressing HARD to drag things, for example.

Same here (X240) but it still has left and right buttons, although not shown. To drag things around, just keep pressed the lower left side of the pad (near the user's belly not the spacebar) then gently move the right finger around the pad. It works the same for selecting text.

I have an x240 as well. The first thing I did was replace the clickpad with a 3 button trackpad which feels so much better to me

The x4x series has a flawed click pad design that travels too far down, avoid it like plague. The series before and after are thanfully fine.
