Second. I absolutely hate the touchpads and I don't know why the public
doesn't just rebel and demand joybuttons like they have on all the
business laptops be standard on the consumer laptops as well.

A lot of us feel just the opposite. If we had to use the damned eraser
instead of a "real" pointing device, we'd give up on the machines.

(BTW... all the DELL laptops I've owned came with both)

I often drag a Trackman along with my 2.5lb netbook. ;-) Gets rid of
RSI, and practical even in an airliner seat in economy.

The touchpads are okay for very occasional use, but not more.
