the title alone should give you a hint, but let’s see:

Using the Zenbook’s trackpad is like walking somewhere with a friend who keeps sticking his foot out and tripping you. After the first couple of times, hey, you got me. Good joke. Let’s walk seriously now. But that friend, who lacks the ability to tell when a joke is no longer funny, just keeps doing it. Don’t you understand, Zenbook, that it drives me insane when your trackpad makes the cursor behave like a drunken Nightcrawler?

How was this overlooked in Asus’ testing? We want to like this ultrabook, but a trackpad is so fundamental to the experience that it is unacceptable for it to not work all the time, every time.

“fundamental to the experience”… what a way to put it.

would you call the steering wheel of a car ”fundamental to the experience” if the car would jump around the road at every turn? 

my point is: apple is continuously attacked for being expensive - as if expensiveness was a) not very relative and b) invented and used exclusively by apple. now that others try to copy the “expensive premium hardware” they fail badly at execution. and i am not talking about details like the genius magsafe connector. they build cars with faulty steering wheels. a-ma-zing :)
