Are the e-mail and browser buttons programmable to use for zoom function? I like forward and back, plus zoom.

Not right now. They are only for email and web browser. We are working on making them more flexible.

Sure can. I zoom in in ebooks/pdfs, as well as pictures, and in IE as well as in Mozilla Fire Fox. So pretty much the same things you'd be able to zoom in on using your phone or tablet will be able to be zoomed in on this laptop. Like Bill said, it's like a tablet with a keyboard attached. Also you can look at my overall review and see if there's other info in there that might be useful to you on this particular computer.Lastly is there a specific application of the zoom you're curious about? Ask and I'll check to see if it works there. :D

This camera can be remotely controlled through a web browser or an IOS app to pan, tilt and zoom. The pan and zoom are mechanical and allow precise placement of the lens. Focusing of the lens is not controlled electronically... You have to set it by hand for a given distance, which usually isn't a problem. The zoom feature is digital, not optical. That means the image gets pixelated as you select 2, 3, or 4X. I find digital zoom to be worthless.

Yes. I have used Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and IE. I like VLC best if no need to pan.

The forward button is the regular button you use to open pages, but if you mean a button you press to go forwarded after hitting the back button without hitting the forward link again with your pointer, then no, I do not think it does. I'm going off memory here, so I could be wrong. It is not a bad mouse and you'll find, unless they are making better compact bluetooth mouses now, that most don't even have a back button, so it is kind of a luxury for the price point.

No-the only buttons are for forward and backward, none that can be assigned for delete.

It CAN be programmed, and by default, its behavior is different in different settings... ie in the browser, it selects text, sorta like double right clicking a block of text. I just reprogram mine so I'm not sure exactly what the behavior is elsewhere.. Their software is easy to use, though, so it's all good.

Yes. Actually Justin, the question asker, has the answer in his Review. Out of the box the Back and Forward mouse buttons don't work, but if you use BetterTouchTool, you can add custom key bindings to those buttons and map them to any action (including Back and Forward) you want! You can download it here: http://www.boastr.net/ The assigned actions you want are 3F Swipe Left (Page Back) and 3F Swipe Right (Page Forward) thats under "Predefined Actions" -&gt; "Mimicking standard gestures"

Yes. I just tried it. You can also focus with the ND side to side switch. Also, like ryuxis stated, the zoom is considerably slower.

There are silver colored buttons with icons above them on each side of the keyboard. If you want to launch Internet Explorer, you press the second button on the left side. If you want to adjust the volume on your speakers, you use the three bottom buttons on the right side. I have not played with the others, but they all have a function. I'm too much of a chicken to press them.

Yes. You can download the mouse managing program here http://e-3lue.com/int/download.html (it's the first one) and them you can program your buttons.

Using a Mac... I have the buttons programed for: one click, two clicks, "junk" email address, home email address, my mailing address, and a leading apostrophe (').

I use it for Skype. The zoom is constantly changing. Big disappointment to have the zoom changing from near to far. UGH!

The device is plug and play, so they're equipped with default functions. Left-click, scroll wheel, and right-click are self-explanatory. The two side buttons allow you to go forward or back on web browsers.If you want to program the buttons, consider installing a scripting program such as AutoHotKey. It allows you to give specific functions to specific buttons. For example, you can bind one of the side buttons to open up Microsoft word, etc.

Yes, in games like Skyrim and oblivion I have the side buttons mapped to different functions. I haven't figured out if you can program the buttons outside of game play. By default they are mapped to go back and forward on web pages.

Yes, it acts like a scroll button. It's a little temperamental, IMHO...doesn't always respond the way I'd like.
