Please feel free to lmk if this isn’t the right place to be asking.

I can’t seem to find any other laptops that use a similar rubberized coating to what the thinkpads have. Do any exist out there?

I think the thinkpads are great but I don’t care for the trackpoint.

Thanks!

Thinkpads got rid of the rubberized coating a few years ago.

Which honestly I fully support because I'm tired of it turning sticky over time.

What is the new stuff on the new gen stuff that’s like plasticish feeling?

It’s just textured ABS plastic. They dropped even the carbon fiber reinforcement.
