This, and why do they take away the 2 buttons below the track pad. PC track pads are barely tolerable as it is.
Fucking stupid ass dumb cunt editor with ragebait article titles making me mad in the morning
Does that mean the TrackPoint is dead? No, thankfully. It will still appear in the other ThinkPads made by Lenovo, said a company spokesman. But for the 14- and 15-inch ThinkPad X9 Aura Editions launched at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, the TrackPoint has been removed entirely.
Senior Editor Mark Hachman I hope you have a terrible day and stub your toe today
Thank you for this comment, it makes me happy to know Lenovo have not removed their nipple.
DEEP BREATHS
pls rub your nub too kay thanks
I already took off my robe and wizard hat.
Well first of all, now you need to put them back on
A fine addition to my collection 
Ironic, my collection is working well too

Guillotine time
I prefer it over trackpad, honestly. Just adjust the acceleration.
Edit: looks like they remove it only from Aura line. Please stub your toe somewhere, author.
"Can't find the clit-mouse. Damn."
removing the nub from ThinkPad is like removing cheese from a cheeseburger.
it'll still be a laptop, but a nubless ThinkPad will always look wrong.
It's honestly the only reason I still buy them. If Lenovo removes the nub or Framework adds it, I'm switching to Framework. Give me a 14" T or E series with TrackPoint and I'm happy.
Next thing you know they'll put the Ctrl back in the right place.
Control back in the right place... where you can press it with your left pinkie without taking your fingers off the home keys? Rather than where useless caps lock is just wasting space?

Thankfully it can be swapped in bios
I almost didn't buy a ThinkPad back in the day before I leaned that you can swap it. Such a stupid design
I also randomly saw today that framework has the opposite option in BIOS. For the people that migrate over

Those who don't use it are only mildly annoyed by it, but those who use it will raise holy hell now that it's gone.
Is it actually usable? I never owned one
Used one for a few years and I loved it:
- it's precise, you can really aim small UI elements
- It is paired with actual buttons, index on the nub and thumb on the buttons, so no weird gestures to right click
- It is very quick to switch from keyboard to mouse, your hands nearly don't move
But, there's no mouse wheel or scroll gesture and maintaining pressure on the nub is maybe more tiring than a trackpad.
You can scroll with nub by holding the middle button

Some people prefer it over trackpad, or use both. Personally I like to disable trackpad because I tend to always hit it with palm or thumb by accident
I use a mechanical keyboard with one on my desktop, I actually use it quite a lot.

I think it works fantastically well. I personally like it much better than a touchpad. It lets me move the pointer without taking my hands away from typing home position.

me on a date
I actually stopped using mine a long time ago, and every time I get a new laptop, I remove it. Not because I hate it, but because I like it. Even after modifying the acceleration settings to where I like them though, the repeated stress of pushing on the nub eventually start to develop dendonitis in my finger.
After I've trained myself to only use the trackpad I put the nub back on. Partly because it's so iconic it just looks wrong without it, and partly because I want to avoid conversations with guest about my growing clit graveyard (although I guess I could just not leave them in a cup on the coffee table where everyone can see)

How do you have more than, like, 3? How often do you change laptops?
I think you're overstimulating. You need to be gentle, which benefits both of you. Try resting it on or near the nub and applying gentle pressure.
Now put the clit mouse into a framework chassis (the relevant patents are now expired)
Yes, I'd switch if they did.
My work laptop is not Lenovo but has a nub. It's works great when I have work gloves on, since the touchpad doesn't respond well with those.
