Cursor jumps all around when typing: Acer Aspire AS1410-8804 11.6-Inch Black Laptop - 6 Hour Battery Life Does anyone know if there is a fix for a very twitchy cursor, which jumps anywhere on the page except where I am typing, skipping lines, going to...

It's not the touchpad - it's your thumb. I had the same problem until I realized that I was letting my thumbs drop when typing. The cursor jumps to where the mouse pointer is when you're typing. Like most of my problems - it's between the keyboard and the chair.

The battery life really depends on your screens brightness and what your doing on the internet. Watching videos or downloading things will drain the battery more then just posting on facebook or doing research. As for the keyboard, no it doesn't have a backlight which, to me, is the only thing I see wrong with it besides the touch pad. Not sure if its just mine but my touch pad doesn't work properly. Other then that, its a great laptop, im completely satisfied with it.

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

Yes I have experienced this too. Sometimes the cursor seems too sensitive and out of control. I have gone it and checked my cursor settings and they are set on normal settings so I don't know how to address this issue. If I find out I will post.

Not sure. I have an Aspire 5742-6331. It came to me broken (I think) because it clicks constantly while my computer is running and my computer freezes a lot.

ACER has just announced a newer-more expensive model- better battery life. Could be we can purchase a better replacement soon.

The ACER ASPIRE suffers from a condition called the "black screen of death". There is a cure if you look up this term there is a tutorial on U TUBE with the solution. You also have to go on the ACER web site and get the updated BIOS for this model. You will need it to cure the condition. It works.

My daughter just got an Acer Aspire One 10" and the left-click doesn't work at all. The fact that a nice little optical mouse is included makes me think acer doesn't trust the quality of its touch pad.Other then that, easily circumvented, problem, it's a pretty neat machine.

well I never had problem of ac adaptor with mine although I returned the laptop back due to excessive movement of the cursor or would I say the mouse was so fast that it kept on dragging app on the interface when I move it around to click, anyway try check if your ac adapter is working by plugging it to the laptop and check if the laptop battery shows signs of charging by looking at the right hand lower corner screen where battery icon is to see if it shows or says battery charging, if nt then knw the ac adapter is nt working before you can think of replacing it with a new ac adapter.

Mine lasts a bit longer, but it suspect it's related to how much mousing you do. I read, click mostly with not much scrolling. Mine isn't active as often with the work I do with it. I actually find it a bit hard to invoke the scroll function and usually use laptop pad for any scrolling. ☺️

I'm sorry I can't help you, I don't know much about computers. I have an Acer notepad. When the battery would no longer hold a charge, I took it out to find the make and model number and ordered exactly what I had.

I'm not sure if there are reliability issues with the laptop I bought or not yet. It seems to be doing very well, I've had it for about 4 months now. Sometimes my touch pad is a bit too sensitive, or not sensitive. Like I'll be typing and it'll move, ty cursor to a crazy point, or I'll try to scroll down a page but the touch pad won't register what I'm trying to do. Other than that I haven't had any problems!

No issues at this time, however, I have disabled the keyboard lighting. The mouse does not last that long though, perhaps 5-6 days before it requires a charge. The keyboard battery is long lasting. I like this combo, just wish the mouse lasted a tad bit longer. Hope this helpes

Dear Zhi: The Acer Aspire S7-191-6447 11.6-Inch Ultrabook has very premium packaging, with several extremely useful accessories included in the box. For example, there is a clip-on supplemental battery, which adds two hours of run time to the four hours of run time from the internal battery, for a total of approximately six hours. There is a VGA Dongle, an Ethernet Adapter, and a Bluetooth Mouse. Of course, as you would expect, there is a standard power adapter/charger. Acer also provides an attractive light-silver carrying case, which is a very nice touch! Thank you for your question, and I hope that you enjoy your Acer Aspire S7-191-6447 11.6-Inch Ultrabook. It is truly one of my favorite computers. Kenneth L. Rodino, M.D.

rosemary, what do you mean by maintainer? not too fond of the tablet myself. it sits in the corner unused because I find myself having to tap the screen more than once to get it to do things. I have changed the sensitivity and nothing changed. the view of the screen also is annoying but that might just be me. honest opinion... save up and get the more popular product. you know which one im talking about. :)

Mines super light and nice to type. There must be something wrong with yours. The mouse pad is ultra-sensitive, it takes getting some time use to it, just make sure you don't rest your palms on it while typing. I made the mistake when first installing to just type A instead of Abraham, so now I get something like C:/A/Documents, because I accidentally press the mouse pad.Also do you get a small spin followed by a click around the mouse pad? I'm not sure if it's the dvd drive or the SD slot. Even though there's no memory card or cd inserted I hear a small spin then a click. It's not very loud but I was wondering if this is normal.
