How responsive is the touchpad, and does it have a scroll bar?

It is very easy to use. Not too sensitive, but works well and has a scroll.

Just normal, as any other trackpad I've used. It is just bigger than what I'm used too. And the left and right clicks are hidden below the trackpad. And the software for it, works perfectly for Windows 8, with all the gestures and stuff.

I haven't had any problems with my touchpad. And I've had my ENVY laptop for about a year or so.

Touch pad is ok but I always use a mouse any way so it's not been a problem for me - overall I love the laptop and happy I bought it

I'm an old guy with whose hands have been broken in the past. This mouse took some getting used to. I didn't like the touch pad scroll at first, but now I think it works great. I purchased this mouse to use with a Lenovo ideapad laptop, but I never use the touchpad, just the mouse. I am familiar with cad programs, so I think it would work fine with CorelDraw & similar programs.

Unfortunately no. I have a hatred for touchpads as well. But it rarely causes any issues. I will say this computer in general is fantastic. Super fast, very reliable. Great looking too.

yup, scrolling is pretty choppy.. no fixes that i have found yet - i now am used to not scrolling with the scroll wheel - great for ergonomics - have had no pain in the arm / wrist since i have it ..

.. and it's shipping now!BTW, the touchpad is a Synaptics and you can go up on their website, download the generic XP driver and end up with a touchpad which has both a scrolling feature and a tap-to-click feature.Got mine earlier from a different vendor and enhoying it quite a bit.

This keyboard has a TrackPoint only. This keyboard does NOT have a touch pad, TrackPad, Magic Pad, etc. Two-finger scroll, as far as I know, is a touch surface gesture that does not apply to this piece of equipment.

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.

No this is not a touch screen. The touch pad I've noticed does seem to be a little buggy, but I rarely noticed it. I typically use a mouse though since I hate touch pads though.

Update: J Mead has a point. I recall reading early on, and trying the scrolling feature in this mouse with my PC. At least for me, it proved cumbersome, which is why I never used that aspect. It was the best mouse for the time. But as I said, Mac's fantastic & easy touchpad technology has really turned me away from needing anything like this anymore.

Not bad enough to not purchase this unit. It seems like the resolution is high and just need to adjust settings. Just search a bit via Google and you will see people complain about the touch pad. This is a great laptop - worth every bit of the cost.

Not sure about this issue. I have the laptop and have used approx. 2 hrs per day for 4-5 months without having a single instance of a trackpad problem. Computer has worked very well for me. Only issue has been resuming a large number of windows after long duration of rest.Sorry if this does not directly answer your question.

This is not good for your touchpad Laptop. The best thing you can do is to buy a mini laser tracking mouse to move the arrow wherever you like. Use your fingers only for typing. My best regards. Gus

The touchpad works as a clickpad. To left click you can either tap the touchpad, or you can press down and click the entire touch surface to perform a left click.I havn't had a chance to actually confirm this (I'll do so tomorrow when I have a chance) but the intuitive thing that I'm very sure I've done in the past in order to right click is to either tap or click in the in the lower right corner of the touchpad. The touchpad is very responsive and responds very well to either clicks or gestures. It's on par with the best laptop touchpads I've used.
