    I just received a new W510, which I generally love. However, the Trackpad is driving me crazy. Unlike my old T61 and T500, I find that the Trackpad is sometimes unresponsive on smallish movements, and I need to wiggle my finger back and forth a few times to get it to recognize that I'm using it. I've updated the drivers and that hasn't fixed it. Fiddling with the senstivity settings doesn't help at all. It's slowing down my ability to use applications like Lightroom so much that I'm likely to return the unit, but I wanted to understand first if this is a problem with this trackpad generally, or if I just have a bad unit? There are lots of trackpad problems posted, but they seem to be more an issue where the trackpad altogether stops working -- not my particular issue.

    Perhaps trying to update to the latest driver. Otherwise call support.
