From the picture, it looks as though the touchpad is off center to the left. Does that make it hard for a right handed person to operate?

No. The entire QWERY keyboard has a shift to the left due to the numeric keys on the right side. At first I had a tendency to rest my hands too far to the right but after a while you adjust and rest your hands to left of center

Yes, the touch pad is off center to the left by about two inches. I am a right handed guy and I rather like it off to one side. I can tape my sticky notes in the extra space on the right side. It is a good machine and I like it. Good luck.

I haven't found it to be difficult. The touchpad is centered under the qwerty keyboard, with the number keypad to the right. I use the number keypad a lot for data entry, so it's nice not to worry about accidentally resting my wrist on the touchpad.

I'm right handed and find the touchpad to be well placed. I haven't had any problem using it.

Not a problem. It's pretty well centered vs. the "letters (QWERTY)" keyboard, once you account for the numbers-only keyboard on the right. I got used to it right away and had forgotten about it til you asked this question.

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.

No, I have a right handed one. I don't know if they have for left handed users.

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 touchpad is separate to the right and is easy to use. This is my best computer yet!

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.

Seriously? Turn the knob on the left marked "Sensitivity". Left is less sensitive. Right is more sensitive.

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.

By default, it's for right-handed users. There may be southpaw version floating around somewhere but the one I bought came right-handed.

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.

It will work well with either hand. It is not conformed to either right nor left.

I use the 20" separation for gaming comfort. In games where my left hand is using the WASD keys for movement, but my other hand is always on the mouse (so, most PC games), I place the mousepad and mouse *in between* the two keypads. This allows me to keep my two hands comfortably close together, instead of reaching way off to the right to use the mouse. If you game for hours at a time, you'll definitely notice the difference.

Hello Hibby! Well, I am not sure I am the one to answer this question to your satisfaction. First of all, I am a 3 -4 finger typist, and rarely rest my palms on the laptop. Therefore, I have no problem with the touchpad getting in the way of my typing. When I use this laptop more for typing, I will be using my laptop easel with a bluetooth connected full-size keyboard. Hope this helps. Mike.

Yes! It is Lefty friendly. There's a setting on the pen that allows you to switch it over for lefties! That way all the text on the screen isn't upside down.

Works fine with left hand. I am right-handed but go left for the mouse. This frees up my right hand so that I'm not constantly switching from pen to mouse and then back to pen. I also love that I can have my laptop a few feet away and am able to control it without having to stretch or lean over to reach for it.

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.
