Isn't it inconvenient to have the touch pad on the left side?

Hello, I am right handed, and for me is not inconvenient, in fact I mess up less with my right hand within the touch pad. Good luck !

On the laptop I recieved, the entire screen is a touchpad. Just like a tablet. I'm quite sure what you mean by "the left side"

you can push and hold the lower left hand corner of the pad, and then use your other hand to drag and drop. I use the pad mostly when I am in Win8 mode as I still find the mouse easier (faster) for some things in Win7.

shure you can turn the notepad around so when you open it with the notepad on your left hand side and the pocket area on your right hand side... no problem at all

So do I! I do have to move my laptop over to the left a bit, about 2-3 inches. Then I have all the room I need for my mouse. And you don't need a mousepad with today's mice. Just use the right side of the table.

I haven't found it to be difficult. The touchpad is centered under the qwerty keyboard, with the number keypad to the right. I use the number keypad a lot for data entry, so it's nice not to worry about accidentally resting my wrist on the touchpad.

No. The entire QWERY keyboard has a shift to the left due to the numeric keys on the right side. At first I had a tendency to rest my hands too far to the right but after a while you adjust and rest your hands to left of center

no, it doesnt. i tested it on ubuntu and mint. it acts like the left button is always being pressed (or like you pressed the pen against the screen and never removed it from there).

I don't have any issues with the touch pad. The fact that it is also touch screen, sometimes I forget I have a touchpad!

Yes, it is located on the left side of case. Have not used mine yet so cannot comment on function yet.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

You can access it from the left side still. The only problem I have with this is you can not close the case while charging. It would have been nice if the developers had thought of this and had maybe flipped the concept of made some kind of way to allow closure of the flap to ensure nothing happens to the screen during this time.

Yes the keypad to the left is designed as a gamers left hand paradise. It works perfectly, allowing a far greater maneuverability and capability when gaming.

Unfortunately no. I have a hatred for touchpads as well. But it rarely causes any issues. I will say this computer in general is fantastic. Super fast, very reliable. Great looking too.

I'm not sure. If so it'd be in the touchpad settings where you could do so I think

Hello Mickey. In addition to the slot to insert a pad at the top, there is also a slot to the left, so you could use it with a pad which opens to the left.

It is able to be installed on the left side. If it is on the right, use a screwdriver to detach the mouse platform/arm from the keyboard platform and reattach it to the left.

Yes. Plug it into any of the three USB ports. I use the one on the left, next to the power jack since I am right handed. That leaves the other two free and keeps the USB plug out of my way. Works much better than the touchpad, which I am still getting use to. It has taken me months to get used to the touchpad of every new laptop (HP, Gateway, and now Toshiba) I get.
