Tex-ArozziNo one does, but if you put your left fingers on "qwer" or "wasd", you palm would be touching the touch pad. Even if you disable the touch pad, it is just uncomfortable.
MarkiMarkGood point. I did not think of that atm. I am a gamer but traditionally have not used a laptop to do so. However when I did I disabled the touch-pad. I have used programs like Touchfreeze or Touchpad Blocker in order to avoid problems.
ShogoGamers don't use touchpad. Fn+F3 disables the touchpad. Also, if you look closely, the touchpad is in the center of the keyboard layout (w/o numb pad).
