no it does have multi touch you have to press FN and F10 at the same time to enable and disable it. and you can enable multi click or one click...i recommend buying a bluetooth mouse...especially if you are taking it to work or the library...i got the microsoft 5000 small and very comfortable to use. i have to say thought after getting used to this keyboard it is very weird to type on my desktop or 15 inch wide screen laptop. download batterybar it really helps...they do have a free version. i use this on all my laptops http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar/download.html

I wouldn't recommend anything as a replacement mouse. I grew up on desktops, and I have had a very unpleasing experience with trackpads when it comes to navigation. Even if you are just doing things like facebook, I would recommend getting a mouse.

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.

I agree with J. Leo. The trackpad on every ASUS notebook for the past year have been terrible. I'm talking about that terrible dimpled monstrosity with the rocker switch. Here are my complaints: 1) The trackpad is on a glossy surface, meaning that if your fingers are not well oiled, the fingers do not glide across the surface. This makes using the trackpad a horrible horrible experience. 2) The dimples are not enough to indicate the end of the trackpad. Normal trackpads are recessed, leaving a slight wall to tell a user where the trackpad ended. 3) The rocker switch is not deep enough, so pressing the mouse button leaves an unclear impression as to whether a click was registered. Look at the Thinkpad buttons. Those go deep, at least by several millimeters. If you press it down, you know you pressed a button. The rocker switch goes down by about one millimeter. Not enough. Additionally, if some debris gets down there, it scrapes against the switch which sounds almost like a click. 4) The rocker switch is loud. 5) Due to the glossiness, oil and fingerprints accumulate on the trackpad itself. How ugly. (Consider this a side rant against any glossy notebook chassis.) Also, what's with the typically mediocre ASUS screens? About the only good screen from an ASUS is the 1005 HA.

Haven't checked. But the touchpad stopped working in less than a month. Don't buy Acer if i had to do it again.

Samsung also has a 10.1" Windows tablet with sliding keyboard coming out in early Q2 this year.. too small a screen for me, but google Samsung TX-100 if you are looking for more optoins

Hi Mike, The battery average life is above average compared to other Laptops. The solid state hard drive adds to the life of the battery compared to a spinning disk. I must say the track pad is awkward and is a single surface and does have double click capabilities, however it's very problematic getting a double click. I have not manipulated the settings, but find that the track pad often gets stuck in a right click mode. I was forced to buy a wireless mouse because the track pad functionality is so poor. Hope this helps.

I have had my NC10 SE for about a week now and there is definitely an issue with the volume from the built-in speakers. Initially, it was absolutely unacceptable so I tinkered around a bit, changed some settings and set the sound to "laptop speakers" instead of "desktop". That made a significant difference, and now I find that the volume is acceptable for everything EXCEPT skype calls. Bottom line is that this is a good computer and this issue, while disappointing, should not be a deal breaker but Samsung has room for improvement for the next model.

Ok, thanks again. I got the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 and as you stated it gets edge.... I relly like the machine. Can anyone suggest a similar pad with screen dimensions anywhere from 5 inches to 10.1 which has the 1700Mhz UMTS support for the SIM card?Many thanks,

Gosh I really like the touchpad but I guess it is whatever you are used to. I think it is more efficient in the movement and being able to tap it to click and scroll on the right side. i usually use it with my thumb since it is down there and leave my fingers by the keys. I like the screen dark if i'm in a dark room but bright if I am in a bright room so I adjust it when I need to. It would be nice if they had an auto light sensing feature that would adjust it according to ambient light.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

I own one. It weighs less than the 1000H. The screen brightness is fine -- I run it at about 50% and that's fine. When spare batteries become available, I may pick one up -- the battery is so small and light that even carrying a spare it will weigh less than the 1000h. The case does not show fingerprints, which to me was a biggie. The touchpad is better -- this is the first computer where I don't feel the need to carry a mouse. It all depends on what is important to you. For me, the lack of fingerprints, the weight difference, and the touchpad made me go for the 1002ha. If you don't mind the extra weight and fingerprints and not-as-good trackpad, if you want the extra battery life, if you really do want a brighter screen, and you want the better speakers, then the 1000h is a better choice.

I always use a mouse. The trackpad is active and it is not a bother. To answer your question, I don't know. I found the Acer tech support to be pretty good.

S. brown,I just got my Dash & think it's fantastic, and so, I am curious about your post. Can you give us an idea about some of these cool ideas? (I know GEORSS can give you updated surf info & I am using it for a weather feed - but what else is around the corner?) And what did you mean by "until the NDA is lifted?Thanks!

Dear CEG23: Sure thing, new version of this case will be better than the old version from various aspects. And be assured we'll definitely send you the new version one once it's available. Thank you for your patience. Best regards Customer service Laptopmate

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.
