Macbook Air Arrives With Buggy Trackpad

Arrived home from my week of travels to find my shiny new MacBook Air had been delivered two days ahead of schedule. Joy! I was planning to hold off on a review until I had some significant time with it, but that plan has vanished behind a red haze of frustration and anger.

The bloody trackpad has an intermittent problem. After working for a while, the mouse will start jumping around, randomly clicking, and generally being completely unusable.

(*@&^$#!

Actually, let me be clearer.

(*@&#)^$%$^#!!!!

There are some rumors of faulty trackpads and grounding problems on the web, but clearly not enough MacBook Airs are in the field for trends to have emerged.

We’ll see how the Apple Store handles this after I get done with my 1:30pm meeting. Stay tuned.
