    Hello all,
    I just got my SXPS 13 in the mail today, and it seems that the touch sensative buttons do not work, I've read on the forum and others of the issue and a manual reset fixes the issues, or upgrading the win7 eliminates the problem.

    I was wondering if Dell has released any permanent fixes for this problem that I am not aware of. Thank you

    P.S. I bought the SXPS without the leather accent so if anyone wants to see some pics i can snap a couple

    I used to have this problem occur fairly often but now I do not. I believe it had occurred to me on Windows 7 a few times as well so I'm not positive that was what "fixed" it on my unit. Are you on the latest BIOS release?

    <Off-topic>Please do post some of those leather-less pics. I'm really curious what the SXPS 13 looks like without it. Thanks. :)
