I've been trying for so long to replace my T530 but there's always and issue with these new thinkpads. The 480 I bought had a cracked mother board because the chassis is so flimsy and cheap on that generation. The T15 is better in that regard but oh my lord the touchpad is unusable. The tap to click requires me to slam the thing multiple times for it to maybe click on something. Two finger scroll will zoom constantly. 3 finger gestures just won't work half the time. Thinkpads have regressed so much it's embarrassing.

Ahahaha. To be honest I usually only use the track point when I have gloves on

Why not just use it all the time then? It takes a bit of getting used to but it's worth it.
