I always have issues with laptops that have a pointer stick dead center of the keys. I type fast and my fingers usually never really lift up far from the tops of keys so I always end up touching the "eraser" point and mucking up whatever I'm typing. Most of the time I use a USB mouse and disable the pointer and/or touchpad.
