How does the touchpad function overall?

It's responsive however if you're going to be gaming on this you're adding an external mouse anyways.

The touch pad works very well. It's a bit sensitive and takes getting used to on its default setting but, is adjustable of you need to. The keyboard is very well built and the transleeve will actually hold both when not on use.

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

This is not good for your touchpad Laptop. The best thing you can do is to buy a mini laser tracking mouse to move the arrow wherever you like. Use your fingers only for typing. My best regards. Gus

I like the touchpad, and yes, you tap it once to click, just like any other touchpad. I love the zoom-in zoom out with two fingers.

I think you may have a problem with the touchpad. Mine works fine right out of the box. You shouldn't have to do anything to make it work.

There are right and left mouse buttons below the touch pad. I haven't used it in over a year so I don't remember if tapping will work.

The touchpad works okay for me, but it took a while to get used to it--seemed stiff and I was right-clicking when I meant to left-click. Weirdly, I've never attempted to adjust its settings--just kept working. I knew before I purchased this laptop that its touchpad was called out as a weakness by reviewers (too small, stiff...or words to that effect), but I expected I'd adapt easily, and it took several days. Indeed, this could frustrate some users greatly, depending upon priorities, temperament, et cetera.

There is a touch pad but not a touch screen. It's set up like a typical laptop.

Read the on line manual for info. To right click you tap the mouse pad with 2 fingers. Left click is one finger tap.

Yes, we had a problem with the touchpad being pressed while using the keyboard and USB mouse. Fortunately, there is a setting that automatically disables the touchpad whenever a USB mouse is plugged in. Also, we had to disable the Win 8 gestures on the touch pad, because it kept doing weird things like pulling up the Windows 8 sidebar (which we never use).

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.

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.

Yes it does however the touchpad is EXTREMELY sensative. Be warned that with computer it will zoom in and out at random just from the heat of your hand

I would not know the answer to that question as I am not a professional tester but I never experienced any problem or difficulty with that laptop touch-pad.

Sorry, don't know the answer to your questions, but I will tell you that the Windows 8 OS, without touchscreen capability, makes for a very problematic typing experience...I have to hit Fn and F7 to turn off the touchpad or all hell breaks lose when you try to type.
