Do any of the newer high-end Inspiron models come with pointing sticks in addition to the touch pad?  From what I could tell by looking at the 9300 and XPS 2, there weren't any....rather dissapointing!

 

Personally I much prefer a pointing stick to a touch pad as I don't have to remove my fingers from the keyboard....plus with a pointing stick you can disable the touch pad so your palms don't accidentally move the mouse cursor.  I currently have an Inspiron 8100, and although it's old it's nice because it has both types of pointing devices.  If there aren't pointing sticks now, I hope the 9400 and/or XPS 3 will have them...I guess it just seems like on a high-end model, it would be a minor upgrade they could include which would make life easier for people who use them.

 

Thoughts, ideas?
