I use a really cheap Acer Extensa 5220, keyboard is ok for me, it has a

rather conventional layout compared to some laptops I've seen where

ESC/Shift/Enter/... where all over the place. The touchpad works ok for

me, although I started to use a mouse again when at home. Touchpad is ok

for the occasional pointing, but if you do point-heavy stuff it can go

so far that your fingertips heat up and you almost start to rub them

off. The touchpad can be disabled using Fn+F7 but this happens pretty

much in hardware as far as I know and can lead to xruns (same goes for

backlight).
