Lenovo has the Lenovo K5923 Wireless Windows 8 TouchPad for $50 - $20 off with coupon code USP1JA341641 [Exp 1/28] = $30 with free shipping. Provides the Windows 8 touch experience without the need for a touch screen. Similar to the Logitech Touchpad.
Got one of these. It does have a good multi-touch support for Windows 8 but not so much for Mac. I have noticed a slight delay when using it and switching between mouse/gestures. The other negative that I have found is that there is no place to store the dongle on the touchpad. This model works off regular batteries and has somewhat of an ugly power switch on the back.
I bought this one when it was listed on sale around Christmas, and overall I was pretty disappointed with it. I tried the Apple Magic Trackpad first, and it's ideal in every way except for it's compatibility with Windows 8. I ended up picking up the Logitech T650, because it's way beyond the Lenovo - the price difference is noticeable in its quality. The Logitech has a glass overlay like the Apple Trackpad, whereas the Lenovo is the same rubberized material as a laptop touchpad. The Logitech is much more responsive, it's slimmer, better build quality, and has a rechargeable battery that so far (3 weeks) hasn't needed charging. Nothing on the Windows side can touch the quality of the Apple Trackpad, but the Logitech is by far the closest and worth spending a little extra. The Lenovo trackpad is annoying and not even worth the price at $30.
has anybody bought this.
How good is it as oppose to Logitech T650
