    I just purchased the Asus Z70A and absolutely love it. However, I'm having a problem scrolling using the touchpad. Anytime I try to scroll up or down a page, the pointer changes to show that I'm scolling but nothing happens.

    Problem solved. The scroll funtion won't work on Firefox but it will on Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how to make it work on Firefox?

    I hope there's a way. Different, updated, drivers maybe? This would be a deal breaker for me since I'm not about to start using IE after all these years just because a particular laptop is limited in it's abilities. A serious flaw, IMO, if it can't be accomplished.
