If it doesn't have any provision for scrolling, I could use the arrow keys. I'm wondering if they pirated the pointer. Since Lenovo is a Chinese outfit, probably not.

As you intimate, if we lop off the top 168 pixels (=1.6") at the top of the screen (1024 x 768 vs 1024 x 600 for netbooks), it makes a difference; but on mine, the screen would still measure 11.25" diagonally.

I prefer it to a touch pad. I think having a 'nub' is better than a touchpad; IMO. I accidentally re-arranged some directories because of a touch pad. I usually use a usb mouse with my notebook computers with a touchpad. I have a Thinkpad with a 'nub' instead of a touchpad. I prefer it to a touch pad.

Then I looked at the detailed photos and found it only has one button for the pointer. Get three on there like a Thinkpad and I'd be in heaven.<br><br>Remember, netbooks were supposed to be small. Note what removing that pad does to the size! And there is still some room to shrink. The Thinkpad X31 I'm typing this on has a 12" display (4:3, which would make a fair difference) and is less than 11" wide (270mm to be exact). The big difference is this Thinkpad has almost no bezel.
