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

“Ragebait”? Really?
It seems like they intentionally used a misleading title that’d get some people on pitchforks, so yeah I’m calling it a ragebait
Yes! They’re threatening to take away my clit mouse
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.
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?
Escape next to 1 is also underappreciated. It’s how vi was meant to be used.
Exactly. I use escape way more than control.
this is actually wonderful ive been debating what to do with my caps lock thank you
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.
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.
i don’t care about the nub on mine, but i do care a lot about the left/right click buttons that take up so much of the trackpad area. just gimme a bigass trackpad.
ThinkPad isn’t for you then. There are plenty of laptops with huge track pads, there aren’t many with a nub.
If Framework offered a nub, I’d switch. Until then, I’m sticking with whichever 14" Thinkpad has a nub.
if only i had a choice of what my work assigns to me.
Same. I’m stuck on an Apple laptop and much prefer my personal Thinkpad.
lol I’d trade you.
At least I’m up for an upgrade, so I’ll get an M-series chip, which is cool. I really don’t like macOS though and much prefer my Linux workflow.
Now put the clit mouse into a framework chassis (the relevant patents are now expired)
Put it on a handheld PC plz
about a million years ago I had an HTC phone that had a trackball mouse thingy. that was cool. i think it was HTC desire, not sure.
Yes, I’d switch if they did.
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.
me on a date
“Can’t find the clit-mouse. Damn.”
I AM THE CLIT COMMANDER!
Guillotine time
I will not buy a Lenovo without the clitmouse
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.
me too my Thinkpad E14 gen 2 is very tough and that trackpoint helps me a lot.
Who has still with nub?

Is nothing sacred anymore‽
No more laptop clit
This, and why do they take away the 2 buttons below the track pad. PC track pads are barely tolerable as it is.
Fewer parts means cheaper to manufacture.
Don’t be fooled; they’re only doing it to increase profits because our standards aren’t higher.
Nobody was using that thing
You mean the nub, or buttons on the trackpad?
I, personally, made use of both back when I had a thinkpad.
I used both. But the track pad buttons are so much easier to use for click and drag operations, left click right click is a button not an Interpreted 2 finger gesture that doesn’t always work.
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?
At least 2…
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.
