I've purchased about 30 Lenovo M72z and 60 M90z and have nothing bad to say about them, but holy fuck every time I try to find a solid Lenovo Thinkpad there is something wrong with it. The touchpads used to be #2 next to Apple's and now they're the biggest pieces of shit. I've had terrible terrible luck with 500-800 dollar range thinkpads. That Probook was going to be my next pilot model, but I haven't pulled the trigger. I can't find the form factor of HP ProBook 6570b anymore, but I purchased about 5 of those and have not had a single complaint from users whereas I have about 5 of the comparable Lenovos sitting and waiting to have an SSD or something put in to try and bring them back to life.

If you have a ThinkPad you shouldn't be using the trackpad anyway. Trackpoint is a much better input device.

So because of nipplepoint they get a pass for making a shoddy trackpad?

i definitely use the nipple.
