I Want To Buy A Normal Laptop With Proper Mouse Buttons

Pretty good explanatory title there, I want a normal laptop with two mouse buttons and a little mouse pad on it so that it can be used like laptops a few years ago. I don't understand all this putting the buttons under one big button so the mouse pad part has the buttons built in. I'm really describing this badly.

I want something like this. With the two little clicky buttons.



But Sony then started doing this. With like just a big square that you have to press like buttons but there aren't any buttons. I still haven't worked out how to use it and when I use the laptop in my parents house with this set up it has led to misery and annoyance.



Now you might point out that Sony don't make laptops anymore and I'm a big retard because I can't work out how stuff works. And you might be right, but if someone can point me in the direction of a new laptop with some mouse buttons then that would be great. Price range is £600 or £700 sterling pounds. Or €900 euro dollars.

You could also whack any old USB mouse in it and behave like a sane person.

But then where would you use this extra mouse? Assuming the laptop is on top of your lap.

See that flat bit next to the touch pad?
There.

I've got an Acer laptop with one of those big trackpad button things, if you just very gently double tap on it, it registers as a click, without actually having to click down on the thing.
