Try disabling the trackpad and then just use the trackpoint.


I have this exact model and have attempted to use trackpoint under Ubuntu and it is just slow and I'm constantly overshooting my target. I'm so much better with the trackpad that I really wonder how people that use trackpoint swear by it. I must be missing something.


Increase the sensitivity to max and try to guide it using just light touches. It's supposed to be relaxing on the fingers, if there's any finger strain, your sensitivity is too low.


Okay, increasing the sensitivity definitely helped with the slowness, but I'm still overshooting a lot. Maybe one day I'll get there. :)


Trackpoints don't have multi-touch gestures and they feel like they accelerate the onset of RSI.


I do this, but I can see how many people would have a hard time giving up the touchpad. The gestures are nice and I do have more control on a good touchpad. However, for my use case not having to move off home row beats touchpad gestures.


Then you still don't have a good trackpad. Besides, the trackpoint is drifting across all models. I like to use it, but it's beyond my imagination why people think this is the best a manufacturer could do.


I've been using the trackpoint for so long that the trackpad seems hard to use to me.

I always disable the trackpad but I fear someday thinkpads might drop the trackpoint altogether as I don't see many people using them.

Phones already support wireless charging. Why remove wired charging because you don't use it? It is harder to use a phone while it is on a wireless charger vs use a wired charger.


"Sub-par" in this context meaning significantly higher chance of dying.

Many popular Netflix originals have been released on Blu-Ray.


I'm pretty sure that depends on which "Vikings" you are talking about, Swedes vs Danes & Norwegians. Also vikings refers to people engaged in raiding, so people who were engaged in trade would not be vikings.
