    I have almost always thought it is cool to have such a stripper model that it does not even have a touchpad. Plus it confuses people big time.

    I don't know either. Maybe it's the modular drive. Some of the i models don't have the touchpad either or the docking connector, which the R61e lacks as well. It depends on the machine type.
