I've never found it convenient to use. Touchpad with multi-touch (for scrolling) is much better and for any serious work not going to switch from a dedicated mouse (anywhere mx/mx2).I am not sure what people's issues are with such input. Disclaimer: I am software developer

As I said above, for me, touchpad is slower and less precise (note that the blue/middle button is set for scrolling on trackpoint by default and works great).

I'm willing to admit that it's largely due to whatever a person is accustomed to.

However, I still have to see somebody use Touchpad in a way that doesn't make me cringe as to how long anything takes... maybe I need to find a more proficient friend :)

Moving your hands from the touchpad and the keyboard and back every time is rather annoying.
