Posted January 5, 2016 Hello fellow LTTers (if thats a thing) Im looking for a new laptop to move up from my 2013 ThinkPad T420 with sandy bridge. But heres the conundrum, I love my thinkpad trackpoint (for those who don't know what that is heres a picture http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/bibuxton/buxtoncollection/a/m/IMG_0338.png) and would like to keep it if possible but I also would like to do some light gaming on my new laptop TF2 etc. The thing about the GPUs that are used in things like my ThinkPad T420 is that they are severely nerfed so you really can't play games on them. And as far as I know you can't get a ThinkPad (or any other brand with a track point) with a gaming GPU. (example Nvidia 960m) So any input on this situation would be appreciated.

Posted January 5, 2016 I think it might be very hard to find something suiting. I found a few Dell Notebook. But there are just none with a decend GPU. I am not sure qhat your use case is, but maybe a wireless keyboard with trackpoint might be a solution? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3U4TQS/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687742&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002ONCC6G&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=070K7QZRNJW7SECKK0FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
