Babies.


I just got a Lenovo Flex 5 for Christmas, and... I feel like the trackpad is garbage? To the point where my main question is "if I have to think aloud whether the trackpad is garbage, does that mean I got a defective one, or is there an option I'm missing?"

I'm talking like, sometimes if I overshoot a link a little, normally on my Macbook I'd just move my finger a half inch and the cursor would go to it. Here, 50% of the time it doesn't register any cursor movement. Other times if I want to go from the top of the screen to the bottom, sometimes I can just swipe two times and it'll get me there, other times thatll move the cursor an inch, and I have to repeat a swipe like six times.

On the former, it almost seems like it's such a small movement that it's interpreting it as a tap-to-click, and just locking the cursor rather than moving it an inch; this happens even when I turn off tap to click.

Is this a common complaint? Am I just used to a style of using the touchpad where I use more smaller movements rather than fewer larger movements?
