As we age, we realize that two completely different foods, peas and carrots, AMD and NVIDIA, can't be eaten together anymore as baby food mush.
Most people who use SLI, namely gamers and workstation users, use Intel processors anyway. Intel has Core i7, with lower-end versions (i3, i5) coming out later this year and next year, and has the publicity power to appeal to the aforementioned parties. AMD just doesn't impress much anymore.
Lenovo will never get rid of TrackPoints on ThinkPads! It is THE iconic signature of a ThinkPad. Lenovo would be foolish to get rid of it, because they'd lose more than 80% of their fanbase/customers.
On netbooks, however... I think I speak for all ThinkPad users when I say that I'll never buy a Lenovo netbook until it has a real TrackPoint!

With the Vulcan salute, of course!
On another note, the Palm Pre has been very hyped up, especially by Engadget. It will be interesting to see how it'll hold up.
