just bought the above spec zd8000 for £420. What does everybody think?

Grrrrr

That's less than half what I paid for my zd7170ea a couple of years ago.
Still, I'm happy with my machine (particularly as it came without
Windows). Nice 'portable desktop', although it is perfectly possible to
use it on one's lap if the chair is big and strong enough ;))

Does yours have the switch to toggle the touchpad on and off? That's one
of the features that sold my machine to me, but I've noticed more recent
models seem to lack what I think is a near-essential feature if the
touchpad has to be where typing hands will inevitably interfere with the
'mouse'.
