    No TouchPad so I’ll pass, but a non Windows version is a step in the right direction.

      The little square below the joystick is a touchpad apparently. I think it wouldbe cooler though if they just used the nipple from their laptops. It would be smaller and IMO more usable than such a small touchpad.

        wow… I hadn’t thought of that until you mentioned it but a trackpoint in thumb’s reach on a steamdeck-like device is a great idea. And good marketing continuity for Lenovo

        I thought it was a fingerprint reader at first glance! I agree that usability could be an issue at that size. Do you think the trackpoint would be much better than a joystick?

          I dont think itd be much better but it has a small footprint and is more usable at that size than a trackpad. I think those are good qualities to have for a small portable device like this. I like my steam deck but I dont personally use the trackpads often and almost never the one on the left so one small nipple would be amazing for me. I used it a lot on my old lenovos.
