Just got a 17 and love but have a question. The trackpad button really takes some effort to click and double-click. Maybe I'm just used to the iBook I just graduated from and I'm not weak, but it's a workout for the fingers.
Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity? Or does it "loosen" up with time? Thanks

You could use tap on the trackpad to click and drag, then you wouldn't need any effort at all. It's a little weird at first, but I got used to it after the button on my Clamshell started sticking.

Yeah, my trackpad button takes a lot more effort to push than the 12" trackpad I've had experience with. I got a wireless mouse and use it for the most part, but when limited to the trackpad, I just have tap-clicking enabled--it's not too hard to get used to and it's actually quite nice.
