@nus this is Toshibas twisted idea of a mouse replacement. This "thing" is like the red mouse nipples on a thinkpad, the mouse buttons are on the back of the lid...

@dec_hl They put the mouse parts on the flimsy side of the laptop... Well okay. I guess there's only so much real estate to go around, back during when the screen was so tiny... But still!

@nus @dec_hl I guess they were still in the process of figuring out what makes good design... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At least they made you have to grip the entire top of the laptop, you're not just pushing on something. Still seems like a bad idea, but I guess they were taking advantage of something that would otherwise be an empty plastic shell, right?

If this had a 16:9 screen ratio, it might have been less of a problem. Or at least the answer would have been more apparent. Just check out how wide that dang keyboard is. Looks beautiful. I love where they put the windows key.

@dec_hl @nus I'm pretty sure that species of bacteria currently unknown to man will be living on that mousenip.
