I'm with you there. I hate touchpads with a passion. I also grew up with the pointing stick and was one of my main reasons for getting a certain HP a few years ago.

I use Bootcamp on my MBP for Windows development. I'm just a pointing stick snob. For me, that's a major issue. I don't like laptops that don't have the pointing stick. I use the MBP for iOS development, but am not the biggest fan. I realize for others, its not a big deal, but I grew up in the IBM world, and think that the pointing stick is a big deal. cough...chough........I'd go for hackintosh, but I don't think its fully supported....cough cough.....
