I am looking for a new laptop, and I had the touch-pad interface. I
currently have a thinkpad with the little red trackpoint "stick" in the
center of the keyboard and it works great. I thought Compaq and Dell
also made models with this UI, or with a dual pointer/touch-pad
configuration, but (other than Thinkpad - which I'm avoiding for other
reasons) the only manufactuer I've found still offerring the "stick" is
Fujitsu, and only on 1 or two models as an optional add-on. Can anyone
point me in the direction of other machines with this U/I, and why did
it fall out of favor so drastically??
Thanks!
