You can tell.Įven the keys have a unique shape, and that’s for a reason – you can type better on them. So, even though we’ve squeezed all of this way down, we’ve changed a lot about the keyboard, for instance, it still is a ThinkPad.
So, it kind of had this personality, and the three colors were kind of playful – and it suggested the fact there was a color display. Also, at the time, it was a nice contrast to the stark geometry of this box. Why do we do it? First off, who would change it at this point? You’d have to be kind of stupid. We’re the only company that puts our logo off-center. It has this jaunty stamp in the corner that says ‘ThinkPad’. It still has this mysterious quality to the outside. It was also incredibly efficient, as everything that goes into a laptop is generally square.Įven though dimensions and things have changed, primarily in thickness, I think it still has the spirit, the essence of what it is to be a ThinkPad – it’s just the measure is different. The keyboard, if you recall, lifted up all of the components inside – like a bento box. He wanted ThinkPad to be this black box that you would look at and say, ‘what’s that?’ That's when I switched to the touchpad for regular use.He was fascinated by this concept that an object was simple when you were not using it and complex when you were. I had it on high sensitivity, but even then it would not do big movements fast enough for my taste, leading to using "excessive force" and then to pain in my index finger's base joint after some weeks. On Windows, it is in the mouse options' "UltraNav" tab after installing the Lenovo UltraNav driver.īefore trying the "thumb on touchpad" option, I also permanently used the trackpoint. Configure the trackpoint to do scrolling when having the middle button pressed.Switch to edge scrolling settings on the touchpad, so you can scroll with the thumb.
If you also want to avoid repositioning the hand for scrolling ("mouse wheel" use), there are at least two options: It took me 2 weeks to get used to it though. In contrast to using it with your index finger, there is no need to reposition your hand for switching between keyboard and pointing device. For that, you may want to use the ThinkPad's touchpad with your thumb. As you say, the root of your problem is not the trackpoint but to avoid frequent arm movements when switching between keyboard and mouse.
