    Hi,

    Just received my new 1645 yesterday, looks big but still quite stylish and good thing is it is super fast! I like the WLED screen too even people seem to like the RGBLED better.

    The only concern is the touchpad, I feel it is not easy to move it if I have sweat on my finger. And the sensitivity is worse than my M1330( that thing has the best touch pad I've ever used).

    I tried to play around with the settings and upgrade the lastest touchpad driver, does not seem to help a lot.

    Maybe it is just something I need to get used to? Or maybe there is a way for me to remove Multitouch driver and use the default?

    Anyway had been using this for a while can share some experiences?

    Can't tell you much but as regards to the sweat thing, my older macbook pro and the new unibody loaner i'm using has tons of issues if your finger is damp or wet.

    I found it hard to get used to at first, felt a bit sticky. But I'm completely used to it now! All new laptops need some getting used to I guess!

    Enjoy your new system! :)

    Good to hear, I guess it is just my m1330 is so good(except it dies on GPU once every year.) that it is hard to get used to something else.
    This laptop seems to even faster than my desktop and the graphic card 5730 is amazing.
