    :(
    The toupad will miss response while i'm pressing keyboard.
    This is really bad, I have to return it...
    It's almost the best machine at $950 price.

    But, can't use keyboard and touchpad at the same time isn't acceptable for me.

    (it will response after like 2-3s) :(

    Thats a property in the settings, just go to your mouse settings (its the touchpadlike tray icon in your notification area) And then go to palm and typing and turn off invalidates mouse movement and turn off invalidates tap and all gestures.

    It's a feature so you dont move your mouse while typing, its easily turned off.

    Um, I think what he meant was that when you put pressure onto the keyboard area, the touchpad seems un-/less responsive.
    From what it looks to me from his post, it rather is not a software related issue.

    Not true, i pushed quite hard on the keyboard and the touchpad works perfectly.

    the function in the drivers to make the touchpad les responsive when typing is causing this, its quite a strong effect so its understandable that you notice it.

    Oh, okay then. Did not know such drivers existed at all. Thank you for letting me know.

    when you are typing you sometimes touch the touchpad with your palm or thumb. without this function your mouse would jump somewhere else and you would start typing there, very irritating.
