Lenovo Wireless Windows 8 TouchPad $30 + Free shipping

I always find myself looking for my touchpad whenever I use my logitech MX keyboard, I really wish there was a true quality wireless keyboard with trackpoint. I am addicted to trackpoint.
Otherwise, next best thing is touchpad. If I can use this with windows 7 I would definitely get it.
Not just for gestures but the usual mouse movements, sometimes I hate moving my arm to move the mouse, it is not laziness just faster to simply move stuff around since I type a lot and compare stuff at work..

I am sure there is a way to add gestures to Win 7

Quote from ayg1 : I wish awful English was their only crime to humanity... Their website experience for ordering from the retail and outlet websites is a special kind of horrible. Makes you wish you bought a Dell. I have no negative feelings towards their actual hardware.

OR their support for that matter, they are very nice people all locals in USA and speak English that most people can understand. They dispatch techs fast, they ship stuff fast (unless it is backordered) and they follow up. Great company, good support, nice hardware, terrible website design, you may end up paying half of what the next guys is paying, or double... so it is always better to call them and ask if there is anything he/she can apply..

Keep in mind, Lenovo will soon split Lenovo and Thinkpad divisions, so you will get a lot more professional service (probably all above related to Thinkpad since I only buy thinkpad products, other than one ultrabook I got for my wife) so it may actually get a bit worse for non-Thinkpad customers.

In for 1, I was looking for a touchpad for my desktop with Win 8. Thanks OP!

Quote from achopra : Does anyone know if this is a glass surface like the Logitech T650 ?

It uses acrylic glass, but there is no indication on what type of glass the Logitech T650 uses. I've tried both and the Logitech T650 has a better feel and seems more responsive, which is why I'm waiting for it to come down in price.

Quote from oemleria : Who still has a touchpad alert? Why?

CM9 is a good reason why.

Quote from pablocordoba : I really wish there was a true quality wireless keyboard with trackpoint.

Here Here! I still use the IBM Model M13 and love it, but really wish they had a wireless option. For my HTPC I've come to like the IOGear GKM561R.

A proofreader would eliminate those quotations marks and the space between the two words. Where is one when you need one?

I edit 10 to 16 articles a day, every day, 7 days a week. The company I do it for is tiny in comparison to Lenovo. If Lenovo wanted to, they could find abundant editors eager to do the work for a very reasonable rate, but probably not many at Chinese or Indian rates.

Quote from microkelvin : someone must come up with a victory claim on the name "touchpad". it's so confusing between the android touchpads (including HP touchpads) and this stupid gesture touchpad.

Like the name "Windows" for an operating system? There are many more like that.

Quote from TH0R : It's funny that they don't understand the fact that hiring someone to ensure proper english in their product descriptions would be in their best interests. Penny-wise, pound-foolish.

I agree. It does sound so foolish.

Quote from superbalde : Ahaha, you guys should watch the video they have on the lenovo site. It is TERRIBLE (the video, not the product AFAIK).

Why do you suggest that? The video is a total waste.

Quote from ubuntu_guru : For $30? Keep dreaming !

It is so easy to say that. I highly understand the frustration of reading something that is too good to be true; I know it can't be true but I still must waste time looking. That happens too often in this web site. I see significant value in expressing the frustration but no value in criticizing it.

Quote from abutcher : Thumbs down, I thought this was a touch screen pad with Windows 8 on it.

I was going to bash you for thumbs downing but the title is a little confusing

I love the Logitech T650 but I'm waiting on a sale for it! It's crazy for $80. But the size for the Logitech is big and perfect. The gestures work great. and the glass-like surface is so smooth with very little resistance (the biggest problem with many touchpads).

$30 sounds awesome for a reasonable facsimile but there's no reviews of it. very little information. is it even Windows 8 certified for all the gestures? Calling it a Windows 8 device doesn't necessarily mean it can do all the motions. Like some touchscreen monitors with 2 point touch are touting Windows 8 compatibility but to be a Windows 8 certified monitor, you need minimum 5 point touch (and most have Win8 moniotrs have 10-point touch so two people can use it together).

If you are trying to proofread every post in this web site then you will have no time for anything else.

Quote from abutcher : Thumbs down, I thought this was a touch screen pad with Windows 8 on it.

Yes, it's a touch screen with Win 8 included. They also include a blender, a new car and the kitchen sink. GREAT DEAL!! All for $30 to your door.

I can't help but wonder why you would declare how stupid you are with that comment??

Am I the only one who thinks the song sounds a lot like the Kiss song "New York Groove?"

Wow, the manual has me pretty excited! 5-point touch with 21 gestures...in comparison the $80 Logitech T650 only has 4-point touch with 13 gestures. Could be a hidden gem, as long as it's responsive!
