Does the trackpoint work like an old IBM thinkpad? If so this would be a really neat computer.

It's called a nipple. And yes.

Do you have one? The Thinkpad trackpoint was great but no other company that put a "nub/nipple" on their laptops was as good. I think IBM put a lot of effort into that device and whatever knockoffs Dell, HP etc were using were clumsy and uncomfortable in comparison.
