Laptop WITHOUT Touchpad

[Rick]

I am looking to buy a new laptop
Number ONE requirement
NO TOUCHPAD

Finding one is getting to be a real pain

Anyone know of a manufacturer that still makes a laptop without that POS installed

Any reason you do not want a touchpad? You might misplace your mouse while doing a multimillion dollar deal M&A presentation...it happens :)

Do you prefer eraserheads or an actual mouse?

Gawk...takes a lot of finger dexterity to master one of those.

IBM/Lenovo has the pointing "eraser type" device.

Fujitsu has some with a little hanging trackball device.

Also remember on many laptops you can disable/enable the touchpad simply by typing Fn+7 to toggle it off/on.

Thanks for the manufacturers names.
I need to go back to them and dig a little more..

Why don't I want a touch pad?
Easy one to answer.
I don't like them and I don't use them.

They end up messing up when you can't afford it
They can block and delete almost anything when in a document and you don't know it till it's too later

Read a document and type from it
Then you look up and half of it is gone :(

Keyboard commands work just as well even better than most touch pads

BTW..
Fn+7 doesn't work on all models.
Example this Toshiba I am working on at this very moment

Thanks again
I'm off to visit Lenovo
