This, and why do they take away the 2 buttons below the track pad. PC track pads are barely tolerable as it is.

    Fewer parts means cheaper to manufacture.

    Don't be fooled; they're only doing it to increase profits because our standards aren't higher.

    You mean the nub, or buttons on the trackpad?

    I, personally, made use of both back when I had a thinkpad.

    I used both. But the track pad buttons are so much easier to use for click and drag operations, left click right click is a button not an Interpreted 2 finger gesture that doesn't always work.
