Or, can the touch pads be disabled in the bios?
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600C, which only has a touch pad. *But* its immediate predecessor, the 8600, had a track pad and one of those little pink joysticks (what are they called anyway?) and I know for a fact that the keyboard and wrist rest in the 8600C can be swapped for the 8600 model, which is often available cheaply on eBay. So, you could get a reasonably new 8600C (they were only replaced by the 6000 line a couple of months ago) and add the stick you like for a couple bucks. But I think that the touch pad will still be enabled - unless you cut a couple of wires, which shouldn't matter much because in case of a warranty return, you can swap back in the original keyboard and wrist rest, so nobody at Dell will see the cut wires :).
Of course, this is not a Thinkpad clone, but it is a very good laptop nonetheless (especially the awesome 15.4" 1920x1200 screen).
