Once deactivated, if you restart your computer you'll notice the keyboard won't work for like 5-10 minutes. Probably it's only me who's having this issue but anyway it is really annoying since i keep touching the pad with my hands while typing. 4: It gets quite hot, there are a few of usb powered fans for laptops so it's a good idea getting one of those.

So, I've bought this laptop a few days ago and after getting away with the preinstalled vista and the huge number of little software included in the package I have to say it is one of the best devices I've came across.
