    I have tested 2 Dell XPS 17 vs Dell XPS 15 and Dell Studio XPS 16 to confirm my suspicions.

    I've noticed that the track pads on the Dell XPS 17's are not very sensitive at all when it comes to 2 finger scrolling.

    It seems that the track pad won't detect the scrolling gesture until I've tried to do it 2-3 times.

    On the other machines, the track pad registers the gestures on the first attempt.

    This behavior is consistent for me on both of my XPS 17's. Anyone else getting this?
