[QUOTE="melmation, post: 294737, member: 20336"] [b]Trackpad[/b] Your trackpad seems to be running just fine to me. I don't know the official name for it, but I call it a kind of acceleration algorithm. In that the trackpad is picking up the speed of your movement and accelerating the pointer in accordance with this. It is basically so you can do detailed movements in small areas. If the trackpad mirrored your movements (ie. you move your finger half way accross and the arrow is half way accross the screen) then it would be very hard to move it a little bit at a time. However, go to system preferences and then go to keyboard and mouse. there is a tab at the top for trackpad. Fiddle about with those settings until you are hapy. I like the way the trackpad works, and have found that my graphics tablet on my pc did the same, and even the scroll wheel on my mouse I have connected to my MBP will adjust the scroll minutely if I turn the wheel one click at a time. If you are super concerned, just visit any shop that has a MBP on display and play with it's trackpad to see if it is really different to yours. [/QUOTE]
