    I've heard alot of bad things about it

    the trackpad keyboard and trackpoint
    If this needs to be removed moderator please remove it but this is from lenovo's website reviews of hte device

    ThinkPad T440s Ultrabook: Lenovo's Best 14" Business Laptop | Lenovo (US)
    "Where's the problem? It's the keyboard and track pad. It is almost impossible to complete typing a sentence because the cursor will suddenly jump back a line"
    "The fact that I have to press down with effort on the ENTIRE track pad when I'm using the trackpoint for navigation is offensive. "

    Yikes! Yikes! So if I get it should I expect not to use the keyboard or trackpad and should just use a USB keyboard?

    You haven't had problems with this? Is there a way to disable the t rackpoint or trackpad? Is that what I would need to do to fix this?

    Keyboard is great.

    Trackpoint where you have to use the whole trackpad as a button, is a mess.

    I'm most worried about this line from the review

    "It is almost impossible to complete typing a sentence because the cursor will suddenly jump back a line"

    Why would this be happening? How do you stop it?
