Why do I not like a single fucking laptop being sold right now? Seriously, I've been to three stores, I've searched online, I don't like anything I've seen. I just want a power cord on the side of the computer rather than in the middle of the back, a mouse track pad that will respond to my thumb so that I don't have to take my fingers off home row to select anything, and an Intel processor.

Does anyone have a laptop that they love? I've always had Dells, and I've never used a HP that didn't have this problem with the tracking pad; if I change the sensitivity options on my mom's then it jumps around selecting things willy nilly.

This is so frustrating I legitimately think I might cry. I just want a new computer, why is it this hard?

My boyfriend has an Acer that I use and meets your conditions. It is an AWESOME computer -- I'm a mac user and I feel like physically it is not so different (it's bigger, but doesn't feel so bulky). I use the thumb for my trackpad too, and it responds well to it!

Maybe I will look into Acer a bit more. I was wary because they're kind of one of the smaller manufacturers, but Dell has nothing I want to keep right now and everyone else seems to think opposable thumbs are stupid.
