Any plans to have a keyboard with a trackpoint and thumb buttons? I Don't need a trackpad.

If you add this then you'll have a new customer for life.

The trackpoint is the only thing that keeps me chained to Thinkpads.

That would be fantastic! The standard keyboard design is extremely outdated, while for desktop there are some products pushing it with ortholinear layout and thumb clusters, for laptops its doesn't exist at all.

I don't know how much keyboard-design flexibility is available to you, but innovative keyboard could even be a killer feature.

Same here. I wonder if a third party could offer a keyboard with a trackpoint, now that the keyboard is an individually upgradeable part.

+1 to that.

I don't know how relevant is the parent argument these days, but pfu see released HHKB with trackpoint. Even despite dropping their signature topre switches, I consider this one of the best purchases. My wrists can't thank me enough.

I won't consider a laptop without one.

    Apologies for the edit in a separate comment. But the typo was so misleading, I decided to fix it.
