Does this computer have 2 click buttons on the track pad? And what is your average battery life like?

Hi Mike, The battery average life is above average compared to other Laptops. The solid state hard drive adds to the life of the battery compared to a spinning disk. I must say the track pad is awkward and is a single surface and does have double click capabilities, however it's very problematic getting a double click. I have not manipulated the settings, but find that the track pad often gets stuck in a right click mode. I was forced to buy a wireless mouse because the track pad functionality is so poor. Hope this helps.

The track pad does have left and right mouse buttons at the bottom of the trackpad where you'd expect them to be. You don't see them but they are there. Also, the battery life is very good. I am used to 3 hours with my old laptop and now that just makes a dent in the battery life with plenty to go. The one item I don't like is the trackpad is very very sensitive. Just barely brush it and it will relocate the cursor. But, I haven't installed the recommended drivers yet so that might be part of the problem.

The track pad does not have buttons. You tap for a "click." The touch sensitivity is very good and has multi-finger gestures. It is on par with my MacBook Pro's touchpad and works the same.The context click, right click, is done by pressing in the lower right corner until you hear it click.The battery is consistently lasting 8+ hours for me.

It doesn't have defined click pads - it has one big touchpad that is very smooth. The average battery life is between 5-7 hours with normal use.

There are no external buttons on the track pad, but a single finger click is left click and two fingers is right click. The battery life is excellent, getting over 6 six hours of steady use from a full charge, without making any battery saving adjustments to prolong the charge such as screen brightness, etc. It has several power saving settings which can be setup to make it last longer as well.

Hi igen, In fact there are two buttons under the touch pad. Ive had this laptop for approximately three months now and everything runs smoothly. I would definitely recommend it, as the price is unbeatable for its quality

Sorry, my mouse is not wireless so I can't answer that. I don't like to click and have nothing happen or have the battery die at inopportune times.

I bought this mouse Christmas 2014. I use it 100% of the time I'm on my laptop (awful trackpad) - probably 3-6 hours/day during the week, 6-12 hours a weekend day. Heavy, heavy usage. I just changed my first battery. Either that was a great Energizer battery or this mouse is incredible. Only downside is the battery compartment is so flush it was hard getting the battery out!

There is 8GB of RAM. The computer is solid it's just sometimes the scroll (two-finger scroll) on the mouse pad goes out randomly. And the battery life is not exceptional. Other than that its perfectly fine.

Yes, it has, by means of two-finger click, as on Mac and some other touchpads. It's pretty nice in many ways, but I was hoping to use it to control my media center computer, and most scrolling and selecting is done by arrow keys. This has arrow keys, but they are alternate keys, which means you have to tap Fn and then tap Arrow. For scrolling down a list, having to do that for each press of the arrow was pretty much a deal-breaker. There is space on the device to the left of the keys, but that is not the touchpad. The entire device is a touchpad, and you switch between mouse and keyboard modes with a little button at the top left.

If you adjust the delay time its fine! only problem I have with the track pad is If I drag my finger across it to quickly and across the whole thing is I use the Windows 8 functions of switching apps a mouse fixes it all

Check to see if they've resolved the issues with the track pad. It was awful, did bizarre things on its own, and when I talked with tech support, they said they've known about these problems for months but don't have a fix! But they were still selling it.

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

It has a keyboard. Think of the hard-to-use small sized chicklet keyboards that came on some of the cheapest, worst netbooks. That's what this is. But with a difference: The track pad is very slow to respond.

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.

The answer is yes. I do not recommend this computer because of the touch pad. I have had 7 or 8 laptops over the years and this one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. If you are not going to use it with a mouse, you should pass on it.

I favored the touchpad and being over bluetooth for the application I'm using it on. Overall I'm quite happy with it for the price. Hope that helps :)

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.

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. :)

As far as I am concerned the trackpad has no problem. It is something that can be adjusted with the sensibility setting.

Regarding the battery life - Not true. My laptop gives backup for like 4 hours if I'm just browsing the net. I am currently a college student and all my classes are 3 hours long. I mostly use browser to search for stuff related to class (or chat on facebook :P ) and take notes on word. When fully charged at the start of class, i have like 30%-40% at the end of each class.No the laptop does not have back lit keyboard.
