I have a couple of Lenovo 440T laptops. They’re great performers but I hate the trackpad! I have to use a USB mouse with them or I constantly make mistakes.
My current surfing machine is a Panasonic Toughbook. I’ve worn the lettering off half the keyboard on this machine and used it out in the rain without problems. It’s seven years old and the software has been reloaded three times but it still runs like a champ.
I never could stand touchpads and the trackpoint, red button thing is just too slow so I use a wireless usb mouse as well.
