ThinkPad's Iconic TrackPoint is Gone (From Some Models)

Lenovo has removed the iconic TrackPoint from its new ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition laptops. While the TrackPoint will remain in other ThinkPad models, this decision marks a significant shift. Lenovo argues the TrackPoint, a legacy design, doesn't resonate with all demographics in a predominantly touchpad world. The new Aura Edition laptops boast Intel's Lunar Lake processors, premium OLED displays, and local AI powered by Meta's Llama 3.0, aiming for broader market appeal.
