    Hi

    I am thinking about getting a company-paid Tablet PC. I would like to get a Thinkpad as I am a long term Thinkpad lover, but my boss wants me to consider Dell's Latitude XT seriously (it is cheaper for the company for some reason).

    What I really love in Thinkpads's is the trackpoint. It feels natural and I am able to use it almost as quickly as a mouse. When trying the other people Dells (not Latitude) I found that their trackpoints are much worse. However, I was told that lately Dell improved much in this area.

    Is it really true? Is there any Thinkpad/trackpoint user who also tried the Latitude XT's trackpoint? How does it feel? Is it comparable with the Thinkpad's experience?

    Thank you for your attention.

    P.S.
    Posting it in the Lenovo section, because I want an opinion of people who like Thinkpads as I do.
