Although I did read that those chiclets are considered one of the best - 
even better than the Apple keyboards. Still I like my X220. :)

Yeah, I always turn sensitivity way up on mice etc. And at first I 
"fumbled" on that nubbin but now I use it exclusively and don't touch 
the touchpad - which might be considered the weak point of X220 - it is 
a tad smallish.

Nah, not on a laptop. Not yet anyhow, but I presume the industry is 
pushing us in that direction. :)
