    Hi, i just bought a new laptop the 3550gz but my touchpad does quite a bit of twitching. i've set the 'palmcheck' 2 spaces from maximum. although i dont touch the palm rest when i type anyways.
    The 'touch sesitivity' is one block from light touch, because anything more the mouse moves sooo slow.


    anyone know whats causing this twitching? shld i just return the notebook?

    thanks!

    Huh, unless another owner weighs in, it does sound faulty. I'd go ahead and hit the support site to see if there's a new driver, or try re-installing the one you have. If that doesn't work see if support has any ideas for you, if not, get it repaired.
