Lenovo has removed its iconic TrackPoint nub from new ThinkPad laptops

For more than three decades, the TrackPoint's iconic red rubbery nub has been a staple of IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. Lenovo has removed its famous TrackPoint from its latest ThinkPad laptops, calling it time for a change. Does that mean the TrackPoint is dead? It will still appear in the other ThinkPads made by Lenovo, said a company spokesman. But for the 14- and 15-inch ThinkPad X9 Aura Editions launched at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, the TrackPoint has been removed entirely.
