I always had bad experiences with HP trackpoints. The last Dell trackpoints I tested were good, but I avoid Dell laptops for another reason:
Every Dell laptop I've had in my hand had very problematic power supply issues, and I not only mean bad quality power supply that break down (it can be workarounded by buying some spare), but doing very wrong things with the power lines and ground line. I work for some FM radio stations, and I know a Dell laptop must not be plugged on the same power line a mix table is plugged on too. For every Dell laptop I tried, that always was a complete disaster: peeing parasitic noises to any audio device through the ground line. That's why, for every Dell laptop intended to be used for audio purpose, I have to provide a gadget that cut the laptop's ground line, something that is not safe, and endangers users. So, Dell laptop is a no-go : you have to chose between doing the job you're paid for, or risk your life.
I never never never had power supply issue with a Thinkpad, they are high quality power supplies, like the whole.
