    Ok

    So I have been in the market for a laptop for a a couple months now. Everywhere I have gone, based off my needs, everyone seems to recommend the sager np5165, and now Im pretty convinced of it.

    But I have a pretty grating question. I am coming from a Macbook Pro (which Ive used for 4 years) so Im kind of used to a high quality trackpad. Now, I am a HUGE fan of using a trackpad. Unless im playing a game, I will ALWAYS use a trackpad. So the question is, how is the trackpad on the sager 5165? Ive browsed forums and ive heard a few complaints here and there , but nothing that seems to be a general consensus. I went to Best Buy a few days back to play around with some of the trackpads to get an idea and to give you an idea of what what I liked. I actually enjoyed using the Asus G73 trackpad, and and it left me satisfied.(but theres no way in hell im buying the behemoth that is the G series :eek:). I played around with some of the Asus U series and K series, and thought the trackpads were AWFUL. Their multitouch was horrible and every time i typed my wrist would hit the trackpad(although this may have more to do with placement and size of keyboard).

    Now I know that this is a VERY subjective question, and at the end of the day, no matter what laptop I get , it will be a new experience that I will have to get used to. Im simply asking what peoples impressions are on the trackpad, particularly ease of use, multitouch, buttons, and not hitting it while using the keyboard.

    Thank You
