"good laptop except mouse/cursor problems"
2.0 starson by gil_caceresPros: all is good with this laptop except cursor location problem. see details below.
Cons: see comments below
Summary: been using G450 for 3 months now. the keypads has a very big problem. my company bought 5 units. all units shows the same problem. the cursor transfers to different random locations while typing. so if you type sentences the cursor goes to different places within your work and much time is lost because you have to keep trouble shooting where the cursor goes. this applies to all applications whether notepad, ms word, excel, power point. in this age where time is precioys as gold, this laptop will take much gold from ones precious time reserve.

I initially had the same problem. But it just comes down to changing a few settings. Go to your control panel and to Mouse Properties. Over there go to the Tapping Tab (Windows XP) and check 'Tap off while typing' and set the delay to somewhere in the middle of the scroll bar. This solved the problem and I have no problem with the cursor jumping anymore. You have to set the delay to suit your typing speed. Its not a problem with the laptop but with the settings of the mouse driver. Hope this helps and makes your experience with this laptop much better, like mine. I would give it at least a 4.5

Same complaint. It's a royal pain in the you know what. The other reply to your review doesnt work and I have not figured out a way to adjust any settings for the touchpad yet. All I was able to find in the manual was if you do a Fn-F8 can disable the touch pad. This is the first laptop I've owned where there is no apparent control of the touch pad. I'll keep searching for a solution and post if I find one. By the way, I got the darn cursor jump while I was typing this..........

Did you find a solution to this problem yet? If not, do as below:
In control panel, select 'Mouse', select the 'Tapping'. In the section named 'Typing', check to enable the 'Tap off when typing' property. This should fix it.
