    hello all -

    i purchased a dell z11 1110 mini laptop and liked it but just HATED the buttons on the touch-pad. the left and right mouse buttons are in the lower corners of the touch-pad, and if you dont get it JUST right, you accidentally end up clicking somewhere else on the screen, and is always some place you didnt want to click!

    this driver helped a little: Download ELANTECH Touchpad Windows 7 Driver v.7.0.6.2 | Touchpad | Catalog - News, articles, free drivers and firmware catalog: X-DRIVERS.COM

    i would like to purchase another dell mini-laptop, but i will never own another laptop with a one-piece touch-pad. can anybody recommend a dell-mini that has decent mouse buttons? from what i can tell from carefully looking at pictures, all the minis have the same one-piece touch-pad with the built-in mouse buttons.

    note that i have and still use an old insprion 1100 and 5100, both excellent old laptops. and they have a separate left-click button, right-click button and touch-pad.

    thanks!
