Lenovo catered to user demands and changed things back this year. When the company toyed with this design in 2014–not even daring to eliminate TrackPoint, but to consolidate its left and right mouse buttons into one long bar–the company was accused of sodomy, became the subject of messageboard rants, and was disgraced on YouTube.
It’s ludicrous, but there’s a reason Lenovo has done this.
Yes, that means there are two complete mouse setups on the ThinkPads of today. The ThinkPad of today accommodates all of the old school TrackPoint users by keeping that red nub in the keyboard, and it also has a trackpad beneath because trackpads are what 99% of laptop users would prefer to use. Because decades of hardware innovations have come and gone, opening up all sorts of new ways to build and control a laptop. Lenovo purchased the ThinkPad brand from IBM in 2005, and to this day it has a loyal following that will wax poetic about its durability and timeless design.
