It will be the size of the current touchpad, sitting under a slightly depressed portion of the front bezel. > 2. will there be any way for first-gen purchasers to retrofit our > systems > with the new touchpad? The CL1A upper base assembly (keyboard, touchpad, white bezel around the two, two side bumpers, and front bumper) should be available as a replacement part. It will it an existing (CL1) laptop perfectly. I should be getting price quotes in the next few days. I haven't priced out a smaller subset yet, as it is necessary to replace the keyboard/touchpad/bezel and an underlying PCB --- the only extra parts in the upper base assy. are the bumpers.
