    How does the Envy 15 and 14 touch-pads compare? I had a 15 and didn't really like it much. Is the 14 any better?

    The 2 finger scroll was very touchy, and it was very finicky.

    I tried the E14 touchpad very briefly and it seemed identical to the E15 touchpad only slightly smaller.

    Personally, I have gotten accustomed to the E15 touchpad after adjusting a lot of settings and I find it preferable to any other Windows laptop touchpad I have tried. I found the MBP touchpad with OSX to be a better experience, though. Did you try enabling momentum glide for pointing and coasting and edge motion for 2-finger scrolling?
