    I hate to give such a low review on a product that I didnt even use but what else can I give a product that wouldnt work. It was brand new with either a corrupted hard drive or no hard drive installed at all. Of course we could wait for a new hard drive to be installed, get a replacement of same computer (now that my confidence in said product was gone) or get a completely different brand. Wound up getting a new HP with a bigger screen and thirty dollars cheaper. I'm sure my experience is rare but still.

    Did not realize how much I would appreciate the lighter weight and thinner dimension of this laptop compared to my old one. Like everything about it.

    Cursor jumps

    Not happy with performance

    I have had this laptop for several weeks now and I have not been happy with it because it has quirky problems. The worst problem is that the cursor jumps around whenever I try to type something, particularly when I am online. I cannot get through an entire word without the cursor jumping to some other place on the page, or even to other tabs. Sometimes it will even highlight the previous text I have typed and delete it. Even if I type very slowly it does not prevent the problem. If I have something long to type (like this review), I have to first type it someplace like in word, where the problem is not as bad, and then paste it where I need it, or it will take forever to finish the message. The laptop also randomly goes black and has to be rebooted for no reason that I can find.

      We are sorry to hear that you are having problems with your new purchase. We recommend adjusting the touchpad settings using the instructions at https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12386, to reduce the sensitivity or turn off the touchpad tapping feature. In regards to rebooting, this may be caused by Windows updates restarting the system, or could be another issue that we can help troubleshoot. We recommend contacting our support team, so we can help get your system configured to better meet your needs. Please contact us day or night at 1 (866) 695-2237. acer
