    I heard that the keyboard and more is not responsive. Is that true? Thanks

    What do you mean? Are you talking about the keyboard/touchpad that comes with the system or external mouse/keyboard?

    I've never have heard of any complaints about the keyboard and touchpad. You can always adjust the settings on the touchpad, and the keyboard is suppose to be 10 times better than what dell normally has been putting in their system.

    The keyboard is just perfect.

    The touchpad - could be better.

    That is one thing - the touchpad keys are pretty stiff. This is a common problem with all of the Inspirons. I wish there was something you could do to change that, but there isn't. I don't mind using the touchpad keys for a few minutes, but if i'm using the laptop for longer than 30 minutes, I use an external mouse.

    Interesting. I don't find my touchpad keys to be stiff at all.

    It just depends on the person I guess.
