I absolutely love those on my old laptop.
I can not figure out why no one has brought at least one model out with one of those? Does IBM have a patent on this?
You can use much more of the keyboard space if you dont have the trackpad.
I prefer to use a wireless USB mouse with my Acer 1.

So, does anyone use an EEE there?

BUT…I'd like my netbook to be truly portable… (hey, trackpoint is good enough even for recreational AND satisfactionary Diablo playing – been there, done that)
