    I'm not sure if it's because I installed the latest drivers from Synaptics's site , but I seem to be able to click on links with the Trackpoint ( red little cap ). Is this normal behaviour and I'm just a noob :p or is something wrong ? I thought I was touching the touchpad but no. I removed the Trackpoint cap and tried pressing on it with a pen with my cursor over a link and it definitly clicks on URL like a normal left click.

    Feature or bug ?

    You probably have the Press-to-Select option enabled in the driver; it can be disabled.

    ...So if you want, you can make your trackpoint click on things?? Is this the same on the T400?

    Yes, this feature can be enabled in the T400 Trackpoint driver.
