I really want to get a Mac laptop, I really do. But the fact that this is a track pad only annoys me. I wish they made a version that supports the TrackPoint or even the UltraNav (trackpoint + trackpad in IBM laptops) so I can disable the track pad portion of that stupid thing. Speaking of which, I wish IBM or someone made a keyboard with integrated trackpoint and has a normal keyboard layout. Some USB ports would be a nice addition too, but I still want a normal keyboard layout with my number pad and window keys. Alas, I am destined to wait out a bit longer.
However, in 2008 I did get my first personal laptop, a 13″ MacBook Pro. Though I did miss the TrackPoint which eventually made me get a Lenovo T430 in 2012, the large TrackPad of the Mac combined with the Mac OS X gestures made it tolerable for most things. However, PC laptops are switched over to trackpads and none of them ever made a good impression on me.
