HP Outs MacBook Influenced Envy Laptops

@those decrying the second mouse button on multitouch Macbooks/Pros

You just use two fingers to tap on the pad. Easy peasy lemon squuezy. I'm the resident keyboard and touchpad facist and I find it dead easy.

And before you accuse me of bias <grin>, I am predominantly a Windows/PC user.

You know a debate has gone down the toilet when someone feels the need to say:

"And before you accuse me of bias <grin>, I am predominantly a Windows/PC user."

Because apparently you can't say anything good about Macs without being branded a fanboy.

And concerning the notebook, I'd rather have a Mac than this wannabe. How's that for fanboysim? :)

Xiphias: Yes, but when other manufacturers copied the Eee, they didn't go to the extent of taking away basic features (like a right mouse button) JUST so their machine could look as much like an Eee as possible.

The keen eyed may note a small vertical line at the centre and to the bottom of the mouse pad. It would seem that HP intend this to be a divider between a left and right mouse button click area on the pad. I imagine the implementation won't be perfect, although I'll reserve judgement on that one until HP have refined the pad and its accompanying software. I'm pretty sure it won't be a complete disaster though, HP aren't that dumb.
