I bought an Air today, and got it home and started it up, but about 10 minutes into use, the touchpad started playing up. Initially I assumed it was a little unsensitive, because it wasn't responding to my touches. But a few minutes later, the on-screen mouse started behaving erratically: moving fast around the screen, clicking stuff, and I couldn't control it at all.
So I reset and solved the problem. For 10 minutes, until it started again.
After about 5 restarts and repeated dodginess, I've decided it's faulty.
Do you think this is guarantee covered? Has anyone else had this?

I know I'm a rook here, but I've noticed that with the size of the touchpad, I keep inadvertently dragging an extra finger on it - resulting in weird cursor activity.

I also once wiped a touch pad with a screen cleaner wipe - that screwed it up for a while too. Just a thought.
