I will admit that a trackpoint will never be as accurate as a mouse

But it's meant to be more of a supplement to a keyboard-centric navigation

If done right, it runs pretty well since you never take your hands off the keyboard.

it just if u have space constraint

mouse>trackpad>trackpoint

with trackpoint u dont have to raise ur hand from the keyboard

Trackball is also a great option if you have no space.

there no "modern" laptop with trackball tho

only trackball mouse

still need space to put the mouse

touchscreen is great

Well yeah trackball mouse

But you don't need to move it around. Still occupies far less space than a mousepad.

Using a regular mouse with a small amount of space will likely yield to wrist issues.

what was the /csg/ approved macbook air clone?

I can't remember it anymore, some small 13inch by xiaomi or some unknown brand

probably the xiaomi laptops, but huawei has their own macbook clones now

did any of them ship with linux by default?

wait macbook air is the super thin one, i don't think either company makes one of those

maybe it wasn't super thin.. just looked like macbook

the xiaomi one ships with windows 10 in chinese and the huawei ones are sold on western markets, so just w10

maybe search the /g/ archives for xiaomi + linux

or as id like to call it, botnet/china

depends on what you want to do with it

do you want to use it as a main computer or just a secondary computer

Isn't Linux ass for battery?

Never tried it on a laptop

sometimes its even better

>Isn't Linux ass for battery?

Wat

its hit or miss

in my case it was slightly worse

Huh, that would be something I gotta see in front of me to believe.
So far every device I tweaked ran better(longer) after installing a proper distro.

i mean, the battery at the time was dogshit

i dont think either linux or w10 could have squeezed more than 90 minutes

almost the same for me

linux 🅱int or win10

with tlp

and win10 has to power the spinner

i used some third party program on w10 to change the fan curve

msi afterburner
