Can Anyone confirm the trackpad issue? thanks

I mostly use my gaming mouse but have had no problems with the track pad it's not great but it gets the job done.

Track pack is not the best, especially if you are used to Mac's superior track pad but its doable. Just use it with light touch, heavy force tends to make it jumpy. I just light touch and slight tab instead of pressing down seem to resolve the jumpiness issue.

As far as I am concerned the trackpad has no problem. It is something that can be adjusted with the sensibility setting.

I have not had problems with the power source. However the cursor is a nightmare and has made this beautiful computer all but unusable. I think that the issue is with an all too sensitive trackpad, but I cannot seem to figure out a way to turn it off.

Yes. Before you replace this unit, make sure that your problems are not being caused by a swelling battery which interferes with the action of the trackpad. I was having problems and replaced the keyboard top case but still had the problem. After replacing the battery, the problem was solved.

Yes it does. You are offered to register for it (for free) when you register the product online. There is a card I believe in the package that mentions it. Sorry this is by memory and I don't have the particulars-PS. stay away from the trackpad configuration options - ends up driving you crazy

Hi John, thanks. i'm close to buying this. Are you happy with your purchase? I heard the trackpad is not as responsive so now leaning towards the Toshiba T115.

Personally i would go with the trackpad because mouse doesnt have touch click capabilities, the touch on the mouse Only lets you scroll

CHange the sensitivity on the mouse pad, that's usually the cause of that problem, I have had the same laptop for 3 yrs now and I had to do it with this same model, problem solved. Or try and keep you hands away from the touchpad when typing. Its not a defective product, its defective typing b the owner basically. But if you change the built in mouse to be very slow it stops the problem, just too sensitive is all.

The trackpad does not work for iDevices. The laser pointer shines on ipads just fine. Though I'm not sure why you would ask about that.

Yes it happens on mine as well but I bought a wireless mouse and turned the touchpad off.

I love the trackpad on the MBA. It is almost like touch screen. That being said I also own and love my iPad. Glad I own both.

Yes the keyboard and trackpad work properly but does not download very fast even with high speed internet.

I haven't had that exact issue but I did have problems with the mouse/track pad not working right all of the sudden and I called ASUS tech support and they had me re-install the drivers for it which fixed the problem immediately. Maybe you just need to re-install some keyboard drivers, call ASUS they will walk you through it step by step or find another solution. Good luck! 888-678-3688 or customer service 877-339-2787

Yes. Pressing the function (Fn) key and F7 simultaneously toggles the trackpad off and on.

I'm having this problem as well and so does many other people on the web. The touchpad and keyboard behaves erratically. touchpad is pretty much useless so I have to resort to using external USB mouse. This laptop needs to be recalled. Can someone sue Asus to recall this laptop? Last Asus laptop I'm going to buy because of poor service.

Just plugged it in to try. Scrolling, left-click and right-click zone work. Other multifinger gestures (define, mission control, next/prev desktop, zoom) do not. I even opened USB Overdrive and it doesn't recognize the gestures as events coming from the trackpad. So, it works, but is missing most gestures.

I use the touchpad only and have not had problems with it. Sometimes the cursor jumps when I am typing, but I have had this occasionally with other computers. Hope this is helpful.
