how is the reliability and response of the trackpad

Sorry. I don't know what that is exactly, but everything seems to be working okay!

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

Not sure as I have still been leaving this trackpad tied to the USB port on my Mac.Sorry.

yes, but I recommend not putting it on the trackpad as it seems to have caused problems on mine

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.

It is built to prevent wear on the surface of the trackpad. Keep any sort of moisture away from your computer as a rule.

Yes, it does give that message if your battery needs replacement. You should probably do that otherwise the battery might expand and cause the trackpad to not work. Happened to me.

I'm not a touchpad fan so I have a wireless mouse. However, when I do use it, it is calibrated quite well. I never feel that it is too sensitive. The keyboard is great. It's very comfortable.

This is very helpful. Other discussions have also noted the the SE trackpad does not have multitouch either. I will follow your advice and get the regular nc10, thanks S. Quran!

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.

I find it frustrating for simple desktop use. It will sometimes click things when you don't want it to. It's not precise or very accurate. It sometimes goes off on its tangent i.e it'll drift to the edge for no reason. It's terrible really. Use a mouse it'll cut down on the frustration level immensely. However I will add that as of now the trackpad is officially the only problem I have with it. Fanstastic computer otherwise.

Be careful! I shattered my Magic Trackpad this morning when I carelessly removed it from the Bluefin :( Make sure to only grip the battery compartment.

No. The track/touch pad is prone to failures and the wireless reception is unacceptable for this expensive notebook

I don't have any issues with the touch pad. The fact that it is also touch screen, sometimes I forget I have a touchpad!

The track pad is touch sensitive for scrolling, and the right and left click are normal.

I've had no problems with mine. I have been working with it for almost a year. I bought it precisely for the center-click-scroll features and I love it.

My sweet spot is about 2.6 - 2.9 MPH, but only after a bit of practice. (I'm at 2.8 as I type this.) I got Apple's trackpad and found that very useful, vs. a normal mouse for most tasks.
