    I just got this laptop. The first thing I notice is the left touch pad button. With just a slight pressure on it, I can feel and hear a slight clicking. It's depressed a little, but not enough for it to be registered as a left-click on the computer. With more pressure, the left-click will register. So every time I want to do a left click, I feel and hear 2 clicks. This is really annoying to me.

    I went to the store to do an exchange but the sales guy said this is normal after some use. He showed me on the demo units in store which some have the problem but not others.

    So is this normal? If it is as the sales guy says this is normal and might happen with another unit, then I think I will have to return it.

    I would return it for another unit. My 4820TG doesn't have the double click problem either.
