@pho4cexa it looks like a thinkpad is budding off some kind of small offspring.
I will say that I've enjoyed using a joystick or a trackball off to the side for mouse pointing, but I'm not sure trackpoints make sense off to the side from a muscle-memory and comfort perspective.
It just makes me think it would be a good way to source parts for a DIY laptop that needs a pointer device, once you take it apart.
