The TrackPoint system, originally introduced by IBM in 1992, has acquired a devoted following of people who prefer it to the older trackball and the more recent touch pad methods of cursor or pointer control in notebook computers. The relation between pressure and cursor or pointer speed can be adjusted, in a manner similar to the way the mouse speed is adjusted in a traditional desktop computer. Increasing pressure causes faster movement. The TrackPoint is operated by pushing in the general direction the user wants the cursor to move. The control buttons are located in front of the keyboard toward the user. It has a replaceable red tip (called a nipple) and is located in the middle of the keyboard between the G, H, and B keys. The device is sometimes called an eraser pointer because it is roughly the size and shape of a pencil eraser. You can also turn an old Windows or Mac computer into a Chromebook, if you have an aging system lying around.A TrackPoint, also called a pointing stick, is a cursor control device found in IBM ThinkPad notebook computer s. If you can’t find a new Chromebook anywhere, consider a used Chromebook-but double-check the official end-of-support date before you buy. If none of our picks are available, we recommend setting up stock alerts through or browser extensions like Keepa. It can be difficult to find a decent Chromebook in stock during the back-to-school shopping season. If the C536 is unavailable, the virtually identical Asus Chromebook Flip CM5 (CM5500FDA-DN344T) is another great option. We don’t recommend this 4.3-pound laptop if you need to take yours to work, class, or even a coffee shop-it’s best used around the house. Its 15.6-inch touchscreen provides more room to do work or enjoy media, but it also makes the laptop bulkier. If you need a bigger screen and a number pad, the Asus Chromebook Flip C536 (C536EA-BI3T3) is the best option.
