    All,

    My wife bought me a Lenovo Ideapad S510p Touch for Christmas. Seems like a pretty nice laptop so far (still getting used to Windows 8 and having a keyboard with a full number pad!). We've had HP and Dell PCs before and both of those manufacturers have tools that identify new drivers that need to be updated. I have not been able to find anything like that for Lenovo yet. I seem to recall Lenovo took over IBM's PC business (versus some smaller vendor) so I would have thought they would have similar capabilities to the other big vendors. Am I missing this somewhere on the PC itself or on the website?

    Thanks for your help!

    The touchpad driver update does wonders for the trackpad. It still has it's issues, but it helps a lot. Also remember, the trackpad clicks when you choose something. Some people think that is trackpad flex, but it is meant to do that.

    Thanks for the link to the drivers but I had already found that. It doesn't appear to have anyway to identify which of your drivers need to be updated though. You actually have to compare the version on each to what's installed.
