I understand if you didn't want to reveal this, but how much did it cost?

>Of course being new to notebooks I have to get used to the keyboard. The mouse is the hardest part so far. It comes with both a stick in the center of the keyboard and a touchpad. Have to get used to it/them.

With our Compaq laptops I am getting used to the cramped keyboard, but I always carry an optical mouse with me. I don't find the touchpad very efficient, but I am getting better at it. One thing I've learned with the touchpad, to do a "click and drag", do a double-tap then drag.

Just wanted to jump here, sorry I don't have the answer to your question.
