Im looking to buy a new latop but Ive noticed that most of them seem to have tiny touchpads. Its fine when you plug a mouse in but when your on the move thats not always possible. Has anyone else noticed this ? it seems like the laptop manufacturers really dont give a sh*t.
e.g.

The only laptops Ive found with a decent size touchpad are Apple ones. I might be forced to pay the extra for a macbook

lol indeed my current thing that once upon a time could of been called a laptop has a nipple and I would trade it in a instant for a small touchpad.

im the complete opposite.
gimme nipple before a pad anyday.
TBH bring back the trackball FTW
Trackballs were by the far the best, anyone could be just as efficient with a trackball as with a mouse. The only downside is having to clean them.

Try using one... Im on only my 2nd trackball in 12 years.
Dont use a mouse as they need to much room.

I prefer the trackpoints, easier for me to use at least. Mind, I think its another love or hate item ;)
Paul, Macbook and get a mouse :) Although new acer has a large one I think looking at the adverts shown here in NZ

Use them all the time - theres about 6 users at work who have them. Theyre wank.
