That is actually not an issue. I thought it would be but once it sits on you

lap it's very confi and the keys are quite good. The only 'issue' is that

going back to a regular desktop/laptop makes you feek you're in front of a

boat :)

I didn't have any real issue with the trackpad itself. Mind you I am a

person that loves to use keyboard shortcuts and tabbing between apps so I

might be biases there. The only thing I do not like however is the mouse.

The action is not very nice, a but too hard (right click especially) but as

I said, I'm not using it too much so it's not a bug deal either

Yes it does. I did Audacious -> Tapco usb interface -> Active Monitor and

had zero problem. Sounded nice & clear.
Hope this helps
