    some people prefer having the "quick point"over the touchpad. that is the only benefit.

    Hi folks,

    @ ejl, Thanks Buddy. :)

    @ Kdawgca ... Thanks for the in-depth explanation ... and the URL was helpful, it showed me couple of other things that I would have not thought about ... AND, I noticed that the Toshiba laptop that I was looking at, the other day, at Fry's uses Synaptics fancy almost clear touchpad ... which I really liked ...
    I was almost looking at HP dv6000t as a contender but when I touched the touchpad ... that metallic feel just did not grab me and I was having a Hard time gliding my finger on it ... so NO HP Laptops for me.

    G!
