    Whenever I use the keyboard it seems to disable my track pad for a second or two to prevent accidental touch, but I have never used a machine that does this before.

    Any way to disable this feature? I can't find anything in the track pad settings.

    Found the solution:

    "Turn PalmCheck down as far as possible, which should fix the issue. Turn it up one notch at a time until it reoccurs, then go back one step. It's a binary block/don't block setting, which is kinda weird because the slider suggests that it would be multivalued." (via "Colonel O'Neill" at ThinkPads.com)
