Hi guys,

How about image editing leh? eg. photoshop and videos. Will this be a good alternative?

Go for i3 labby e-350 not for intensive cpu applications tried it runnable but quite laggy cpu is >50% most of the time

Get a desktop or a mainstream laptop if you plan to do intensive PS-ing or video editing ..cuz such programs need alot of raw processing power n ram... I will Nv recommend a sub level laptop for such intensive tasks... Sooner or later ur laptop will spoil...

Display quality isn't my concern but brand is.

I had problems with my touchpad as well, but noticed it happened after turning on single finger scrolling. I turned it back off leaving only double finger scrolling and rebooted the 1215B and that seemed to get my touchpad working again, at least for now.

 

[Henabi]

hmmm...ever try updating the touchpad software??

It may be a driver issue. Anyway, other then DIY hardware. I really do not like ASUS.

Its a hardware fault arite for my case ,i updated the software still got problems and i also discovered that when it halts pressing on the left key actually makes i moves suggesting the wires are sc somehow or loose connection somewhere which is not suppose to happen if it is a software fault.U guys might want to try changing the sensitivity settings or update the software to try out just in case .

just wondering, did you guys test the notebook on the spot when you purchased it?

Cos i setup windows in the shop itself and check if everything was running fine and the specs were correct under device manager before i made the payment. Maybe i was lucky to get a working set with this first batch.
