I'm looking at a 14in CW and I have a few questions:
1. How is the keyboards/trackpad?
2. What does the "crystal rain white" look like in person?
3. How is the 330 in games like CounterStrike and WoW?
4. What is the resolution? I assume 1366x768?
Putting channels of blank space BETWEEN their keys looked like a style over substance gimmick to me, but once you start typing on it you understand why it's this way.
That design is very forgiving. You are only pressing one key at a time no matter how clumsy a typer you are.
I.D.K. if it also contributes to structural integrity, but I'm coming from having a few thinkpads, supposedly the best keyboards- and they are great- but apart from the trackpoint if you like it, the new vaio keyboards are not a downgrade in any respec
in their entire lineup? i don't get it. don't the executives actually use the product?

I am really satisfied with this baby.
however, i am experiencing a minor trackpad problem, and wondering if it's only my laptop that has this problem.
The trackpad of NW240 isn't as smooth as my previous laptops.
The new Z is probably the only laptop that I would give my 13" MBP for. I'm glad Sony added a backlit keyboard but can anyone comment on the trackpad's multi-touch behavior?
Does it have two finger scrolling and browsing? Is it as smooth as MBP?
I have not had good luck with my SZ series notebooks in that the first one stopped responding to touch properly, and this one the left button needs quite firm presses to work correctly.
Is it possible to replace or fix just that one component or is it an assembly including the right button and the trackpad as well? Does anyone know the part number and where I might be able to find it along with a guide for replacing it?
Today my 2 week old laptop was closed, put into a fully padded laptop bag, Velcro strap over to hold it in place. Nothing else in the bag. Put in car, drove 80 miles, took out of car and setup. It noticed a small mark on the screen right where the screen folds down to the track pad. It seems the Back ridge of the track pad, has pushed onto the screen creating this mark.
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust got a Vaio Z, which I love in many ways -- except for the trackpad. My old Dell E1505 had a trackpad in which it would scroll more or less based on how quickly you moved your finger up/down the right side of it. So, you could use it to get to the top/bottom of very large documents in a single fast swipe.
Meanwhile, the Z's trackpad only seems to move a fixed number of lines with each swipe. This is a HUGE downgrade, as it takes forever to move through a large document.
Is there any way to get variable-line scrolling working on a Z trackpad?
This is specifically occurring on Z590, but may be there in all Z's.
If you have a USB mouse plugged in, and you go to sleep mode, and then disconnect the USB mouse, then when the laptop wakes up again, the trackpad does not work. If you plug-in the mouse at this point, the mouse works fine, but the trackpad is still entirely disabled. Vaio Control Center indicates the trackpad is still enabled, but no response at all from trackpad.
If you unplug the mouse, go to sleep, and wake up, the trackpad now works fine.
I am not sure when this bug was introduced, but can anyone replicate it as well? The trackpad seems to get disabled upon wakeup from sleep if the USB mouse was unplugged AFTER going into sleep mode.
my brand new HP DV7T-Quad system's keyboard letters fading/rubbing off after only owning the system for less then a month.
I got the keyboard replaced and I've only had the new keyboard in for 3 days (GENUINE HP)! The new keyboard is now starting to do the same thing. I'm not doing anything to the keys but typing on them...I don't understand what is causing this, nor don't I understand why others are not complaining about their letters on their keys disappearing after normal use?
I really need some feedback on this, I'm not going to keep paying for new keyboards every other week for the life of this thing. This is obvioulsy a HP issue. Fading is normal after a year or so but not a month and not 3 days!
HP refused to send me the keyboard to let me replace it on my own, so I purchased one off of eBay (it's a genuine part not a fake.)
Does the E6400 use the same crappy keyboard as the Dell E4300 that I'm returning?
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy M keeps falling off so I order a repacement key from Machina but the latch they sent me didn't work.
It said made for the 5315 but it was smaller. I went on ebay and there alot of replacement keyboards for ACER 5315. I just want to make sure I buy the correct one.
The keys on my Studio 1737 are very difficult to press. I'm a good touch typist, and this just requires way too much hammering to keep my speed up.
Same thing happened when I got my first Inspiron 1705, but I found out that there were multiple manufacturers for those keyboards. One of them made light touch, the other made very heavy touch (though not as bad as the 1737). Swapping the keyboard solved the problem.
the backlit keyboard on an m6400. Is there a way to configure how long it stays on until it fades? Or even to just make it stay on 100% of the time when plugged in?
Of secondary importance would be a way to control the brightness, but mostly I want the keyboard to remain lit much longer than it does.
These questions go out to the owners of the new 17" unibody Macbook Pro. Before I may my final purchase...I was hoping you could help clarify a few things as I have yet to see any reviews for this particular laptop in full depth... especially here on notebookreview.
1) Does the laptop get pretty warm? The palm rest? The bottom of the laptop when putting it on my lap?
2) The edge-to-edge display, do you notice any dusts getting in it? Is there an issue with dust going inside at all? I have an HP dv5t with that infinity display and I have to say, I have 2-3 dust specs inside the dang thing.
3) When you close the laptop, do the keyboards leave marks on the screen? What if I use that keyboard protector that Apple has on their website?
4) Any issues with grease building up on the black keyboard?
The new Thinkpad keyboards no longer have a dedicated PrtSc key. I've looking in the User Manual but there doesn't appear to be a reference to PrtSc. how to capure the screen for Win 7 on the T540p.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Unibody MacBook (Spring 2008) and i'm having some major difficulties with this trackpad. It seems to have a huge problem "hanging onto" items I want to move. I have simply given up on trying to drag anything to where I want it. Take for example in Mail, I'll try to move a message from one folder to another and i'll click on the message and it randomly release it into different folder. It will only sometimes "pick" up the message and when it does it randomly "drops" the messege where ever the mouse is. This also happens with windows, it'll sometime take me 5-6 tries to move a window from one side of my screen to the other because the trackpad it will simply not grab the window to move it, and when it does it just "drops" the window a few centimeters from where I grabbed it. And highlighting text is completely impossible since it requires some form of precision.
Now this is not user error as what it might seem from the rather large trackpad. I have tried every conceivable option, from moving my hands completely off the computer while I try to do things with my trackpad.
Does this seem like a hardware issue or a software issue, and does this mean I need to get it checked out by an Apple store.
I just got my xps 1647, but where's the scroll function in the trackpad? It is very inconvenient when I'm reading big webpages.

View 6 Replies View Relatedit's about time.
a little birdie told me.
hopefully this isn't old news.
you should finally be able to tap to click and tap with two fingers to right click.
I'm on my 2nd SXPS 16 (first one had dust under the glass) and on both systems the trackpad gets very hot even when I'm barely using the computer! Is there anything I can do to get the heat down? Is there a application that allows me to increase fan speed?
It really get uncomfortably hot even when it's just sitting on my desk with no programs running (and I have the 256GB SSD which I thought would reduce heat!). I also know this isn't an issue with the computer b/c the original one I had, had the same issue
my track pad on my M1530. I have sometime when I will run my finger across the track pad but the cursor with not move. It will jitter a little bit but will do nothing else. Then after a couple seconds, and sometime a hit on the palm rest, it will work again. It has happened probably the whole time I have had the laptop( 7 months), and now it seems to be occurring more frequently. Also, for the whole time I have had the laptop, the track pad will not always register a tap on it as a click, it just sits there like I did nothing. I know that could be a setting, but I have messed with them the best I can and it has changed nothing. Do you think this could be a driver issue, I have updated the driver since I got the laptop, or could it be bad hardware that came with the laptop. I have a complete care warranty, so they would probably replace it no problem, and I am already going to have the motherboard replaced because of a broken clip on the Ethernet port.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am running the E6400 on Vista Ultimate x64 with the 7.102.101.216 trackpad drivers.
Every so often (probably once week) the trackpad will stop functioning: the buttons keep working but the pointer does not move. At that point the only thing I can do is to shut down and reboot. There doesn't seem anything systematic about what I am doing before to trigger this.
I normally have the pointing stick switched off, I've turned it back on to see how that interacts
I'm used to the trackpad of the Inspiron 8600 which is accurate and responsive. By comparison the trackpad of the E6500 is not very responsive.
I can move my finger 1/3 of the way across the trackpad before the cursor responds, and even then the cursor will lag behind my fingertip.
Not all the time, but most of the times i used the trackpad in bootcamp, i get a BSOD.
It is really annoying. running Windows 7 Beta btw. does anyone know how to fix this, or what might be causing this? i have updated all bootcamp drivers and trackpad.
i am interested to know if the pogo stylus will work on the trackpad of the penryn mbp; also, what is a good software that allow us to draw mindlessly? since i am only drawing some simple graphs for economics classes i am not looking for a wacom intuous/bamboo level of precisions and wanting to use it before making a 300ish purchase of a new HDD for my x41t (233x CF isn't fast enough i guess)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using either a usb or bluetooth mouse with my new XPS 15z, and i'm getting tired of a problem...
The trackpad is impossible to shut down for good... i mean: indeed you can disable it, turn it off, and even tell it to turn off when usb mouse is plugged, but it never really does, it always, always, always stays on for a second before shutting down...
In other words: my trackpad is disabled, both buttons and touch, and i use a bluetooth mouse. but even it is disabled, if i pass my fingers on it, the cursor moves for 1cm before shutting down... then i wait 2 minutes, and i pass my fingers on it again, and then again the cursor moves 1 cm before stopping moving.
So it is never really shut down, with the consequence i never can type text without my hand touching it and putting the cursor somewhere in the page and i have to put the cursor back to where it was,
For example it happened 5 times when typing this very text....
I have updated the cypress trackpad drivers to last up to date version...
Suddenly, after a year of use, the Cypress trackpad has become inaccurate. The pointer judders when I move it across the screen and when I tap to open or close something or anywhere on the screen, the pointer move slightly (usually up and to right by a small amount) when I tap. This is frustrating when trying to do simple tasks. This is not caused by a change in senstivity on the trackpad. I have checked all the defaults settings in case something changed. I am running Windows 7 on a XPS 15z.
