    Those who don’t use it are only mildly annoyed by it, but those who use it will raise holy hell now that it’s gone.

      i don’t care about the nub on mine, but i do care a lot about the left/right click buttons that take up so much of the trackpad area. just gimme a bigass trackpad.

        ThinkPad isn’t for you then. There are plenty of laptops with huge track pads, there aren’t many with a nub.

        If Framework offered a nub, I’d switch. Until then, I’m sticking with whichever 14" Thinkpad has a nub.

        Used one for a few years and I loved it:

        • it’s precise, you can really aim small UI elements
        • It is paired with actual buttons, index on the nub and thumb on the buttons, so no weird gestures to right click
        • It is very quick to switch from keyboard to mouse, your hands nearly don’t move

        But, there’s no mouse wheel or scroll gesture and maintaining pressure on the nub is maybe more tiring than a trackpad.
