    It's the Samsung 305V5A. I just bought it for $700 after tax. I usually do a lot of research on laptops, but this time I had to get one fast and I kind of didn't really care about performance and all that as long as it could play WoW, which it can... so hopefully this is a good laptop compared to what else is out there for this price. ANYWAY, my problem is, I've gotten used to playing WoW with no mouse, just hot keys and touch pad (my right arm was in a sling for 6 weeks). With this laptop though, if I hold a key down, like if I am running forwards in the game, double tapping the touch pad will not work, and after pressing a key it takes a couple seconds before it will let you double tap the touch pad. It's just kind of weird because even now if I just stop typing and try to double tap the touch pad to select something nothing will happen until it "unlocks" itself after a couple seconds. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Any other touch pad software I can install to replace whatever is currently on here? Thanks!

    I've got the same "problem" on my RF series. I think I was looking on the internet about a solution earlier but I couldn't find you. Try contacting Samsung and see if they've got a fix. TBH, it doesn't bother me so never went all the way investigating the issue. You have a simple solution in your case - use a mouse..
