There is no trackpoint, nor is there E-SATA or HDMI. But you do get the slightly concave keys on the keyboard which makes it excellent for typing on — a trademark of Lenovo Thinkpads.
They will also throw in 2 GB of RAM for an extra $20, and RAM + Wireless Mouse + Sleeve for $45.
Might be good for home use, the kids or your grandparents. Not so great as a business or university device (battery life is average at 5 hours).
