That sounds great and good to see AMD cpu as intel has been very problematic in last few years (especially on linux, but windows as well), 32gigs ram for that money is great when thinkpad t495s comes with 8gig ram soldered on the board.

But where is the trackpoint?

The trackpoint is a patented IBM/Lenovo thing, isn't it...?

For the most part, but for example HP Elitebooks and some Dell models have copies of them.

However, the non-Lenovo/IBM models seem to be somewhat worse (probably for patent reasons).

It’s got to be expired now. It’s been over 20 years.
