I feel like on my 17" powerbook I was able to use my fingertip, and now with my 2.33 mbp, i am unable to use the tip of my finger, but have to use more like my "fingerprint" part of my finger. confusing - i know. but i can't move the cursor with my fingertip. any else know what i'm talking about?
Got a tip for us?

Hmm, I can't say that I have to press particularly hard on my SR MBP 2.4 - I'd definitely say it's more finger tip than finger print!
I know what your talking about but i don't really care. I am perfectly fine with the way the trackpad works.
so, am i being dumb about this or something worth talking to apple about? i always cringe when i read people's lousy complaints, but this is one thing i am not used to! i was going to take it in tomorrow until i realized today it's okay if i use my finger differently! am i too anal?
i dont think you're being dumb, but I have a compaq laptop that I cant use my fingernail with and i've never been able to (i've tried and hoped) so I'd say that using a fingertip is probably more normal than abnormal
my macbook track pad is fine for what i need it for, if you use it alot at home on a desk, buy a mouse or something
took it to the apple store. he looks at it and notices there is something on my trackpad. i guess the previous owner of my computer put down one of those clear stickers to prevent it from getting dirty? anyway, he took it off, and it's much better now. i felt like a moron.
My trackpad seems fine. If that is your only problem, then yes, you are being to critical. If you take it back, I'd be worried about getting a comp with something really wrong with it.
