how are the touchpad and the power cord?

The touch pad is so-so it's a lot better than the last hp laptop I had but nothing super special. It does have physical left and right mouse buttons as well as the ability to double tap the pad itself. The power cord is pretty run of the mill but will get very hot when gaming. I let mine dangle so that it can air cool and not build up heat under itself.

Touchpad is very good. Power cord...well, its long and does the job. Its not designed like Apple or anything. But, you overlook that when you think about that a computer that is 3x more powerful than comparable Apple is 50% less at least. Power cord wasn't considered when I purchasing. :)

Touchpad is nice in itself but there are some problems you may run into. When typing, I have accidentally hit the trackpad many times and it stopped me from typing. Also, scrolling with two fingers is very clunky, and you are restricted to a scroll area on the side of the touchpad. I have none of these problems any more because I use a mouse. The power cord is fine, long.

I rarely use the touch-pad, but it seems very responsive on default settings and is a pretty good size. The powercord is 4-5 ft and fits snug... easy to attach.

Well, you can't feel the wires running through the pad, which is obviously good, but you can feel the power cord connection at the foot of the pad, it's relatively small, about 4"x4" and in the center so it's not a big deal, but every now and then our foot will brush over it, and it would be nice if that didn't happen. So it loses a couple points for that, but it works great and overall we're happy with it. Turn it on about an hour before bedtime, and you're in cozy central by the time you turn in.

Gosh I really like the touchpad but I guess it is whatever you are used to. I think it is more efficient in the movement and being able to tap it to click and scroll on the right side. i usually use it with my thumb since it is down there and leave my fingers by the keys. I like the screen dark if i'm in a dark room but bright if I am in a bright room so I adjust it when I need to. It would be nice if they had an auto light sensing feature that would adjust it according to ambient light.

My touchpad worked coming out the box. So maybe this one is defective. It has been a great machine. Maybe you just got a bad one.

It is an excellent product and although I still use a mouse, the touchpad is great for moving the cursor and for multifinger gestures. Its use as a mouse replacement is feasible, although I prefer to use both.

I am having problems with my touchpad as well. Hopefully someone has some answers. :(

It does heat up when playing games for hours. Other than that everything is great. I don't use the touch-pad, but it works well enough. I really like the keyboard and look of the computer.

Not bad enough to not purchase this unit. It seems like the resolution is high and just need to adjust settings. Just search a bit via Google and you will see people complain about the touch pad.This is a great laptop - worth every bit of the cost.

Haven't checked. But the touchpad stopped working in less than a month. Don't buy Acer if i had to do it again.

Yes. Plug it into any of the three USB ports. I use the one on the left, next to the power jack since I am right handed. That leaves the other two free and keeps the USB plug out of my way. Works much better than the touchpad, which I am still getting use to. It has taken me months to get used to the touchpad of every new laptop (HP, Gateway, and now Toshiba) I get.

Assuming you're asking about the mouse pad. It's just a basic mouse touch pad, nothing special.

Yes that's what I do. The touch pad is so quirky you almost have to use an external mouse. The only caveat is that there is only one USB port so if you're using a wireless mouse you can't use the USB port for anything else.

I'm not sure, I never got to use mine. The power supply would overheat instantly or the touch pad wouldn't work...
