		nfoz on July 14, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: VAIO announces tiny laptop with tons of ports It's a requirement I have of any laptop, and they're tragically hard to find. It's the main reason I like these modern VAIOs and will probably get one. I'd buy a Purism in a heartbeat if it had dedicated touchpad buttons. My only other suggestions are some Dell Latitude 7xxx models (e.g. 7390, 7490), or maybe a Fujitsu. None of the Lenovo touchpads count anymore (why are the buttons at the top!?)

to use it with the trackpoint or the touchpad. You can use your thumb for the touchpad and you'd be surprised how much better it is that way.

To use with the TrackPoint. In fact, my X201 had buttons at the top and bottom.
