I have had my Inspiron 7347 for a few days. When operating on the battery, the touchpad exhibits some quirks that make this P:C extremely hard to use as a portable laptop.
The mouse on the touchpad hangs up intermittently, sometimes for several seconds. This erratic behavior makes using the mouse terribly difficult.
When scrolling using the mouse on a vertical scroll bar, the right click menu for the desktop keeps popping up. I must move the mouse away from the scroll bar, left click to get rid of the right click menu, and return the mouse to the scroll bar. Sometimes this behavior is constant when scrolling through a long page, making it impossible to use the mouse to scroll.
I have searched this forum for answers, but what I find is other users complaining about the same problems going back months. Here is one of the threads, started on 11/9/2014, almost two months ago:

I find it hard to understand how Dell can sell and ship PCs with a well known set of very serious touchpad problems. My guess is that a new driver is needed - NOW!
Any answers??? Thanks.
