User interfaces are very important. Personally, I find touchpads to be very awkward. Many of my mouse actions are point-and-click. With a mouse, it is simple. With a touchpad, I have to move my finger around and then move it around to click the button. (Due to my dry hands, clicking on the pad is not reliable. I have actually caused clicks on my touchpad when I was not touching the touchpad but had my finger just above.)

Touchpads are demons from hell! The first thing I do when I get a laptop is disable tapping on the touchpad so I can keep it from doing something I don't want it to do long enough for me to jam a USB mouse into it.

That is, when I deal with laptops at all, which I also hate...
