I would never revert to a mouse after about 3 or 4 years using
trackpads exclusively, I used to get soreness and swelling around my
thumb joint when using the mouse a lot, but now I haven't had anything
of the sort. much more comfortable than a mouse and quicker too.

If I could get a nice laptop style keyboard with compact layout and
integrated trackpad then I would be a happy bunny using a workstation,
but for now I'm very happy using this laptop 7 days a week 364 days a
year.
