    Hi, to me its very annoying that the touchpad of the xps series is getting very dirty after short use. Its supposed to be made of glass but to me it feels rather made of plastic. Anyone got solution for that? i've searched for a foil but didnt found one.

    I've had mine for a week and the touchpad is still clean and works well. The dirt is coming from somewhere so many fix the root cause, not the symptom.

    Mine has shown the grease that I had on my finger the first time I used it. I used a little rubbing alcohol and a paper towel but I can still see it. Might try a little windex. Anxious to hear other ideas.

    I just use the wet naps that you get at any fast food restaurant. Cleans everything up very nicely.
