Is touchpad scrolling enabled in any way? Two-finger scrolling or any other solution for scrolling using the touchpad? Did Samsung publish any drivers to enable scrolling?

Touch pad scrolling is enabled, and supports the standard windows 8 gestures like two finger scrolling and pinch-to-zoom, etc. A lot of others are supported but can't remember off the top of my head. Samsung has published new drivers for the touchpad as well as most other hardware on the computer since the posting of the majority of these reviews.

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.

It is like touchpad on laptop. Not like cellphone screen. Can not work as you asked.

No, up and down like most Windows mouses. If you want L/R scrolling, a trackball type is usually the way to go. There are some good wireless units that use a thumb ball. I have had the older big ball type and they were all too big to work well except for some graphics applications.

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.

"a scroll feature?" Sort of . . . The keyboard has four directional keys under the touchpad that function as Up, Down, Left, and Right Arrow keys. Holding down the Fn key with the Up key gives PageUp, with the Down key gives PageDown, with the Left key gives Home, and with the Right key gives End. Holding them down causes auto-repeat. If your application recognizes those keys for scrolling you are in luck. Many applications recognize Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End. Alas, they are unavailable. One would think one could use Fn-Ctrl-Left for Home and Fn-Ctrl-Right for End, but Fn-Ctrl together yields the Win (Meta or Logo) key, thus one gets Win-Left and Win-Right instead. "a way to program keyboard shortcuts or hot keys?" Yes, if your application assigns (or can reassign) keys or Alt, Ctrl, and Shift key combinations.

i read somewhere online that this is not a true multi-touch trackpad, meaning it takes your multi-touch gestures and convert them to appropriate Windows keyboard shortcuts.If I remember correctly, this was based on reports that multi-touch gestures do not work on some linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint, etc.)You can go to MS store and try their display model to see if it works on your mac or ask the Dell.I personally recommend a mouse if you are using it on laptop. I bought it for my desktop but a good mouse has much better/faster control and so this thing went back in the box. i read somewhere online that this is not a true multi-touch trackpad, meaning it takes your multi-touch gestures and convert them to appropriate Windows keyboard shortcuts.If I remember correctly, this was based on reports that multi-touch gestures do not work on some linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint, etc.)You can go to MS store and try their display model to see if it works on your mac or ask the Dell.I personally recommend a mouse if you are using it on laptop.

The touchpad on this unit supports multi-touch gesture; therefore, scrolling is available.

I have had no problem using the scroll wheel when surfing on a Motorola Xoom tablet. I also have a bluetooth keyboard paired at the same time. I don't know if you are using Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean browser. I have tried Chrome and Firefox for Android, but keep going back to Jelly Bean browser because it is most like my desktop Firefox browser.

mine scroll like this, go down 15 lines, you move fingers, it jump up 10 lines.sometimes you just touch 2 fingers to the pad, it "scrolls" up or down, its choice.

I agree! I have started using the tap feature of the touchpad (two fingers for right click). I works OK for most things once you get used to it but for quick response in a game, I have to connect an external mouse (trackball in my case).

I just ordered this laptop. I read those reviews about the trackpad too, but found recent reviews stating that there is an update for the trackpad at Dell, that solves the problem.

I'm on the same fence. While I haven't driven the Samsung, I did use the Asus today and found the click buttons extremely stiff. Do these "break in" and become easier to click after time? That was my only negative with this machine. How is the touchpad and clicking on the Samsung in comparison?

.. 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.

It will not keep scrolling , the touch navigation is very accurate but take into account that it is very very small mouse.Unless its essential that the size is small i will not go with , trying to sell mine on e-baythe speed of the scrolling depends on the speed of you finger... so if you scroll slowly it will slowly scroll on the screen
