Unfortunately, there’s no shortcut to quickly disable the trackpad either. We found that while typing, your right palm tends to touch the edge of the trackpad, which engages the vertical scroll, moving the page and at times the cursor, all over the place, which is quite annoying.

While the keyboard is comfortable and backlit, the trackpad could have placed a little more towards the left instead of the center. The keyboard area has a very nice rubber finish to it and the same extends to the trackpad as well. Along with the 1.3MP webcam, there’s an ambient light sensor as well that automatically dims and brightens the display, based on the amount of light in the room.

The trackpad/touchpad (mouse cursor) on the Dell XPS 13 (9343) will randomly freeze-up, stop scrolling, stop being able to mouse click, start randomly resizing/scrolling or will cease to do anything at all after a while. I've basically spent the whole day looking for a solution (which I still don't think I have), so figured I'd try my luck here.
