    its been a couple months and i've been kind of lazy and not really cared, but one thing that has been really ircing me is that my touchpad doesnt scroll anymore even with the thing enabled on the dell touchpad program. Can anybody help out i updated the bios to a08 to no avail and then the the newest update a12 and it still doesnt work. Not to mention that my laptop feels like a furnace at idle temperatures. i seriously regret buying this laptop last year, and i'm really getting frustrated with this thing
