I’ve been trying for so long to replace my T530 but there’s always and issue with these new thinkpads. The 480 I bought had a cracked mother board because the chassis is so flimsy and cheap on that generation. The T15 is better in that regard but oh my lord the touchpad is unusable. The tap to click requires me to slam the thing multiple times for it to maybe click on something. Two finger scroll will zoom constantly. 3 finger gestures just won’t work half the time. Thinkpads have regressed so much it’s embarrassing.

    yeah, that’s not possible to the extent described; it’s no macbook but that doesn’t jive with modern thinkpad touchpads. either you got a defective one or it’s caked in some spilled juice or something on the inside. add to the mix the idea that motherboards shouldn’t break when impacted, the humanity!

    I hope you didn’t post this from the T15 itself. Think of how the TrackPoint would feel if it reads it.
