Still, probably not that good, though, at the distance you use them at. I could help this by using an external keyboard and mouse, but the screen on a laptop is smaller, so I can't sit as far away fromit.

I think, quite some time ago, I read on either emfrefugee, or eSens, of someone who was very happy with the work a company in Europe did on their laptop - they were quite sensitive, and were fine with the system after the modifications.
