Most manufatures that used TrackPoint's in the past positioned them wrong... Too low or high within the keyboard or the buttons were in uncomfortable positions.
I would say mainly IBM and Lenovo have the positioning correct as well as on some models TrackPoint buttons.
So if you had tried most of dell's attempts and tought it was useless, that's because it was even though its a simular implimentation :)
I would certainly buy a Thinkpad T14 with the classic keyboard layout << T420 >> in a heart beat... << even if it had to be thinker >> standard price not x2 mess that was the Thinkpad 25.
(( I currently have 6 working thinkpads ))
Just looking at wikipedia population and area (and a very simple scaling)
So... The UK has comparably _more_ of it's land covered with housing than the other nations mentioned.When you consider population density, UK >> US >> NZ > Canada > Australia.
You would _expect_ countries with much more wide open space to have bigger homes, and the other nations homes aren't so big _when you consider their countries' size and population_.
The stagnation in other countries housing markets like the us is interesting, I don't know the answer but have they ever had social housing on the scale of the uk?
