I have not had any of the problems that notebook review describes with the touchpad. I think they just hate the integrated buttons of the touchpad. While I would prefer separate buttons, these didn't do anything unexpected. I was able to hold down the "corner" of the touchpad to drag and drop without incident and it didn't pop my cursor to the corner of the screen or anything like that. I've found that I actually prefer pushing two fingers around together to scroll instead of having a discrete scrolling 'zone' on the side of the touchpad. It makes scrolling more intentional, but no less natural. Zooming in and out is like an iPhone. Pinch or unpinch. There are more features, but I haven't messed with them yet. So far, it's a winner if you ask me!
