The trackpad on my Lenovo T410 works well enough that I seldom take
the time to plug in a mouse (unless I'm playing Portal, my one and
only computer gaming vice).

One of the (few) things I really like about Macbooks is the way you
can press harder on the trackpad to get a mouse click.  I find myself
trying to do it on non-Mac trackpads (and am briefly disappointed when
it doesn't work).
