Thinkpads are more expensive than the Surface line, retard.
Carson Murphy
I've never understood how you guys use those things, to me it's like trying to use a PC with a console controller, only worse because the range of motion is even smaller.
Evan Martin
>goes to apple thread and posts old, debunked, misguided notions
Asher Powell

Ryder Hall
Isn't a trackpoint basically like a fucking thumbstick? How is this supposed to be better than a trackpad?
Why do you think your tangent about gay little video game toys is valid?
Brayden Nguyen
>I've never understood how you guys use those things index on nub, thumb on right/middle/left button no need to bring down your hand to the touchpad repeatedly like a retard, your hands never leave the keyboard >only worse because the range of motion is even smaller just adjust the sensitivity
Easton Hernandez
I'm old enough to remember trackballs that clipped onto the side of your two inch thick laptop. I guess trackpoint was decent in the days when your only options were that or a fucking garbage trackpad the size of a 35mm film frame but nowadays everything that isn't a $129 chinkshit netbook comes with a usable trackpad.
Juan Ramirez
Not him, but the trackpoint is literally a thumbstick with smaller range of motion and thus less accuracy, how is that not valid?
Adam Rogers
Evidence?
Christian Jackson
As an owner of a surfacebook 2 I gotta say that they biggest thing holding it back would be the pen technology. if apple can figure this shit out then why in the fuck can't Microsoft.
Xavier Reyes
How do you need evidence? Just compare their functionality lmao
Parker Mitchell
>just adjust the sensitivity How's that supposed to help? Set it high and the pointer jumps all over the screen like a squirrel on meth, set it low and it's so slow that it makes you want to punch a hole in your computer. If you've got the fine motor skills to use that shit at high sensitivity you've probably fucked up because you should've become a brain surgeon.
Jackson Peterson
Well, looks like your claim is not valid.
Austin Taylor
>if apple can figure this shit out then why in the fuck can't Microsoft. When has India ever achieved anything of note? Don't expect them to start now.
Brody Powell
Trackpoints only work well with their 1366x768 TN screens. Any higher resolution and it becomes a pile of shit.
Thinkdrones are literally no different from a shit slurping mactard.
Parker Russell
>A pointing stick (or nipple mouse, or jokingly called a "Nub," or "Titmouse") is a small joystick used as a pointing device typically mounted centrally in a computer keyboard.
wow thanks wikipedia Do thinklets actually believe that red little knob is somehow special technology? Lmao
>Thinkdrones are literally no different from a shit slurping mactard. So now you're just spouting shit like the retard you are. Funny because Surface shit is literally less repairable and throttles more than Macs. >wikipedia Nice try, pajeet.
Jason Sanders
>everyone responding to you is the same person Way to out yourself as a redditard. How fitting for a thinkdrone.
Mason Cooper
adjust the sensitivity + dexterity after getting used to it i can drag stuff comfortably across a 1080p screen fine and since it uses mouse acceleration short distances aren't a problem either
Thomas Phillips
When did I claim that?
Wyatt Price
Nothing in his post suggests that is the case. Are all Microjeets this dumb?
Joshua Perry
Do you need a fucking scientific thesis on how trackpoints are literally little fucking thumbsticks/joysticks with little to no range of movement? Are you fucking stupid?
Or you could just use a good trackpad immediately. Enjoy your crooked index finger by the age of 30, thinkcuck.
Nothing in my post said anything about a Surface either.
Adrian Gomez
>Do you need a fucking scientific thesis on how trackpoints are literally little fucking thumbsticks/joysticks with little to no range of movement? Any evidence would suffice.
Colton Diaz
Trackpoint is a relative input device, unlike a modern trackpad, which is an absolute device with 1:1 mapping to the screen. In other words, with a trackpoint you input direction and speed, with a trackpad you input a position directly, as you do with a mouse. This means that, with a trackpad or mouse, you can move the pointer to a position on the screen through sheer muscle memory, while with a trackpoint you have to watch the pointer, wait for it to get to the target, and then stop. That makes trackpoint slower and less intuitive to use than other input systems.
If you want evidence of the difference between absolute and relative control, go compare footage of professional console FPS tournaments to pretty much any decent PC FPS player and the difference is glaring.
Aiden Bailey
>Nothing in my post said anything about a Surface either. We all know who you are.
1. No actual evidence presented. 2. Stop talking about your gay little video toys, zoomer.
Camden Edwards
Honestly as the other thinkcuck hater, the only thing Trackpoints are good at are First person gaming. For productivity, a Precision trackpad absolutely destroys the shit out of a trackpoint.
Joshua Turner
>1. No actual evidence presented. thanks for confirming that thinklets actually are braindead
Nathaniel Anderson
>Or you could just move your hand down every two seconds like an imbecile No thanks, I'd rather keep my hands on a steady, sane and comfortable position.
Luis Johnson
I'm actually a Dell/Acer user thank you very much.
But keep comparing your Thinkpad with the worst piece of shit companies like Surface and Apple, because that's all you got.
Adam Diaz
>thanks for confirming that thinklets actually are braindead You can claim things as much as you like, kid, but without actual, tangible evidence your empirical claims do not stand up.
Kevin White
Trackpoints are strain gauges with no movement. They measure the force applied, so they don't need a range of motion to be accurate
Gabriel Hill
>I'm actually a Dell/Acer user thank you very much. >Acer lmao
Kayden Reed
I don't even mind Thinkpads, they're solid laptops and I have a Lenovo (which I'm sure I'm about to get told isn't a real Thinkpad) myself. I just think Trackpoint sucks compared to pretty much every other input device you'll find on any laptop from the last decade.
Christian Mitchell
>empirical Do you even know what that word means thinklet? Jesus christ get an education
Lincoln Ortiz
Hey, can't beat that value t bh. The brand that stopped me from buying Used thinkpads.
Angel Edwards
Yes, and I used it correctly. But you know that, you're just dodging again. What a joke. >value No such thing for consumer laptops.
Jaxon Miller
>value >garbage consumer-tier chinkshit
Aiden Watson
compelling arguments
Lincoln Roberts
>muh business vs consumer That shit hasn't been valid since 2014, business quality has gone way down while consumer has gone up, almost at a point of convergence.
I'm not buying another X230 that has 1/2 the performance of a bottom of the barrel Celeron, shittier screen, and 1/5 the battery life.
Nolan Powell
>That shit hasn't been valid since 2014, business quality has gone way down while consumer has gone up, almost at a point of convergence. Any evidence to back this up?
Isaac Davis
Your own thinktard threads consistently bitching about newer thinkpads being worse.
Logan Harris
How is that evidence?
Jonathan Turner
>consumer quality has gone up wtf i love cheap plastic and 1366x768 screens now!
Noah Collins
>wtf i love cumstained keyboards and 1366x768 screens now! I can play that game too thinkcuck. Also the cheapest piece of shit Acer has a 1080p panel, meanwhile the latest $1200 T490 comes with a 1366x768 TN screen standard.
Jayden Davis
>not a desktop just no.
Charles Ward
>cumstained keyboards Nice projection, you freakazoid.
Angel Green
Hello mommy's basement neckbeard
Asher Wood
>thinkcuck has the nerve to call anyone else a freakazoid Oh the irony! Also I love how you ignored all the spec comparisons.
Logan Ross
>meanwhile the latest $1200 T490 comes with a 1366x768 TN screen standard Wait, why the fuck would they even do that? My shitty 12" Yoga travel laptop that was like $700 like 4 years ago has a 1080p screen. Seems like it'd be way more cost-effective just to use standard 1080 panels across the lineup given the volume in which they're churning those shits out these days.
John Nguyen
projecting much?
Blake Reyes
>the cheapest piece of shit Acer has a 1080p panel Nice try, Acer shill
>consumer rubes actually believe their f**ebook/pinterest/youtube toys are as good as more expensive laptops
Leo Cox
Literally no one mentioned Apple but you. How much do you get paid an hour?
Gabriel Gomez
>paying 5x the amount of money for similar specs >calls others rubes It's ok to admit you're retarded. Your butterfingers gonna break 5 laptops in 10 years?
Daniel Hernandez
>he thinks people buy business laptops with their own money What a dumb kid.
Nathaniel Parker
It's more like almost twice the price for similar specs. But when you use your laptop for serious business (not pornhub or anime), you don't want any downtime from it breaking
Samuel Walker
>So does a good trackpad Only macbooks after 2015 have those.
Kevin Rogers
You know they are pressure sensitive, the harder you push the faster it goes and pushing it lightly makes it crawl across the screen. I can use a track point almost as accurately as a mouse. I despise trackpads so much, finger feels like I've been rubbing sandpaper after using for extended periods
Parker Green
>Or you could just use a good trackpad immediately >good trackpad Nice oxymoron, retard
Precision trackpads are especially godawful. The only thing they absolutely destroy the shit out of is your fingers, cuck.
Colton Rogers
I mean, if you actually have a disability I can see why shifting a trackpoint left and right might seem easier, but for the normal population a trackpad is faster and more accurate
Normal population despises trackpads not made by Apple though.
Zachary Turner
>for a normal person familiar with trackpads the unfamiliar pointing device is worse whodathunkit
Lucas Green
It still requires a hell of a lot more fine control than a mouse or trackpad does, though, and you've still got the issue that it's a more convoluted way of doing things since it's directional.
Gabriel Cox
You simply have to adjust to it; just like you did with trackpads and mice.
