Having used old thinkpads I just don't really understand the appeal, especially with how poor old LCDs look. The trackpads are tiny, the battery life is abysmal, they're heavy and like an inch thick.

Macbook superior screen is the only reason i switched from thinkpad t-series. Everything you listed can be ignored or you get used to it. Not like macbook touchpad is without its own annoyances.

One does not use the trackpad in a thinkpad. If anything they should be removed. The old keyboards are a dream to type on... Only computer that came close (that I had was HP DV1000)

Yeah I've tried the little track nub things but they don't work well for me, a good track pad is much quicker.

		It takes a decent amount of practice and you need to adjust the sensitivity settings. Eventually though I would say they can be more accurate than most trackpads (excluding a good Apple trackpad - those are great) The real advantage though is your hands never need to leave the keyboard between mouse and typing (for speed)
