    I was just wondering how is the touchpad on the Blade? I got mine on last Saturday and it seems whenever I quickly double tab, the cursor moves few inches downward even though I am tabbing at the same location. I checked the display unit at the MS store as well and it also seems to be behaving the same way.

    practically the first thing I turn off is tap-to-click on windows laptops. I wish it was a clickpad like macbooks, but alas we can't have it all.

    mine does the same thing. They probably all do. TBH, I am sure if enough people owned this computer, someone could figure out how to devise an update to the driver or wtvr. That's what happened with my last windows comp. But I am not holding my breath.

    I can't replicate this on mine, double tapping works and the cursor stays put

    Adjusting the touchpad sensitivity in the synaptics settings app fixed this for me.

    Down. You'll have to find a setting that balances the sensitivity of normal tapping behavior with the moistness of your skin/environment, etc. :)
