Go to System Preferences -> Trackpad -> Ignore accidental trackpad input. You're welcome!

I believe the late model MacBooks do this by default.]]>Feb 25th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Hmm, I checked just now, but there wasn't any option for that.. crap.
Early 2008 model here.

Considering that I would not have bought this $3000 laptop if it had a numpad with off-center keyboard, I think the reasoning goes something like this:
Let X be the number of people who would buy the MBP 17" only if it had a numpad. Let Z be the number of people who would only buy the MBP 17" if it had a centered keyboard.

Z > X.

Note that people who like numpads but would not really buy a MBP17 for some other reason don't count. ]]>Feb 25th 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/
Or, if you've got enough cash to spring for a MBP 17", (and you're the kind of person that does office-type stuff) surely you can afford an external numpad.]]>Feb 25th 2009 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 25th 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 25th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 25th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 25th 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 25th 2009 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/macbook-pro-17-inch-unibody-unboxing-and-hands-on/
It is absolutely perfect, what you see in the pictures is definitely lens distortion. Engadget should be using Macro lenses with less distortion.

Also, I bought the glossy and I LOVE it. I use it in two places, one is in my office with no windows, and one is in my bedroom on a small desk facing the window. No reflection problems for me, and I don't have to stare at the hideous bezel that is on the matte version.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 2:51PM
