Is this a being convinced by never using one?
To be fair, trackpads are shit. The one on my laptop is now disabled in the bios :)
But never the less, the current "alternatives" to a trackpad are: * Touchscreen * Nipple
There are a number of Lenovo laptops that are available with nipples.
There are also some HP models with nippes if you can work out the bizarre numbering of the models and Dell offer them too in non-consumer models.
And Toshiba too.
Even on my desktop at home I use an IBM keyboard with built-in trackpoint (a.k.a nipple). The keyboard has a built-in trackpad too, but it is ignored. Lenovo have since brought out a newer version (it has the Windows key).
