    Hello everyone,

    I am a freelance writer who is very interested in buying a 17" K70 series laptop, however, I am paranoid my typing will be interrupted by accidental activation of the touchpad. Is there any “palm-proof technology”, or equivalent, in place for accidental touchpad triggering? I notice the K72F notebook has such a feature; I however, do not know what to think of the chiclet keyboard & the 72 is £100 more expensive than the 70.

    Thank you very much.

    PS, I need a 17" laptop as I often write documents side by side, I doubt a 15" laptop would be large enough for this.
