Does this have a smooth or textured touchpad? This is very important for usability for me. Thanks!

For me the touchpad is smooth and responds nicely. I do pair mine though with a wireless mouse often or I'll use a stylus. Hope this helps! It is a great ultrabook!

The touchpad works okay for me, but it took a while to get used to it--seemed stiff and I was right-clicking when I meant to left-click. Weirdly, I've never attempted to adjust its settings--just kept working. I knew before I purchased this laptop that its touchpad was called out as a weakness by reviewers (too small, stiff...or words to that effect), but I expected I'd adapt easily, and it took several days. Indeed, this could frustrate some users greatly, depending upon priorities, temperament, et cetera.

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

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

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.

Touchpad is very good. Power cord...well, its long and does the job. Its not designed like Apple or anything. But, you overlook that when you think about that a computer that is 3x more powerful than comparable Apple is 50% less at least. Power cord wasn't considered when I purchasing. :)

I really liked everything about this laptop; size, speed, looks... EXCEPT the touch pad. Prior to purchase I had read that some people had trouble with the touch pad but everything else looked good so I decided to take a chance. Unfortunately, very soon after purchase the touch pad started acting wonky and just got worse with time. IF you are someone that uses a mouse with a laptop and this is the screen size you are looking for, then YES, I would say it would be a good replacement. I prefer Windows 7 over Vista and again, the speed on this machine is great.

No there is not a mousepad...I use either the keyboard or use the touch screen.

Fairly similar, slightly lighter. I'll tell you now though, save yourself the headache. I HATE this mouse, I would rather use a TouchPad.

Yes, is FAR stiffer than most machines. I used to use the touchpad 'click', but now i use a mouse with this laptop or the touchscreen in some cases

The touchpad seems ultra sensitive to me, but then this is my first laptop so I have nothing to compare it to. I have a wireless mouse also that I use sometimes.

I didn't have a problem with the touch pad. However, I did purchase a mouse to use with it because of the work I do on the laptop.

I use a firm mouse-pad. I haven't tried using a cloth mouse-pad, do I cannot confirm the performance there. The mouse works well over-all with the only adjustment being that the right click doesn't make a tactile click when pressed. Something to consider.

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.

Since I am a confirmed mouser, I do not use the touchpad. M. Goldman is correct the touchpad is touchy. I find it helps to disable the touchpad by holding down the Fn key and hitting the F7 to disable the touchpad. If not I find myself sometimes hitting the touchpad when I hit the space bar. This can cause some confusion until you realize what is going on.

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.

So sorry for the late response, but my daughter says that it does not feel like paper on the surface cover, she says it is smooth. I hope this answer helps...:-)
