    So I picked up one of these sweet little 10" netbooks, but seem to have got a bad one :(

    The track pad works and all, but the left click does not do anything...

    I tried adjusting the settings, but just will not do anything. The right click works fine.

    What a disappointment. Off to Best Buy to exchange it unless there is a fix?

    I also updated the latest drivers off of Asus's website, but it was no change...

    It has Xp on it and the wireless works great!

    Mines extremely stiff. So bad that it's almost unusable and I have to use a mouse. I'm not surprised that one would just be bad. Other than that I love the 1000HD I got at BestBuy.

    Wifi unfortunately has gone down several times. Says it's connected but can't access anything. Perhaps it's my new mouse that's causing interference. Never had any problems with my wifi on other computers.

    I downloaded new Wireless drivers (not available from Asus), so I hope that works.

    Just as a note, I never ever use the left click button on the touchpad. I just tap to click. :) I think I wouldn't even notice if my leftclick button went bad.

    Right, i almost always do as well, but some times I like to left click to drag something because when you try it on the track pad you always seem to run out of room no matter what kind of laptop lol.

    I will just go exchange it at BestBuy today.

    BTW the right button is not still at all and I think its easy to press...

    I guess for $380 you can't expect a 100% perfect computer lol.
