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.

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

Hi Mike, The battery average life is above average compared to other Laptops. The solid state hard drive adds to the life of the battery compared to a spinning disk. I must say the track pad is awkward and is a single surface and does have double click capabilities, however it's very problematic getting a double click. I have not manipulated the settings, but find that the track pad often gets stuck in a right click mode. I was forced to buy a wireless mouse because the track pad functionality is so poor. Hope this helps.

That is strange. I have actually had no problems with mine at all. In fact, I really like it. Do you think you have the speed set on your mouse pointer too high or maybe the button to roll the screen in the middle is somehow stuck? Looks like you could get it replaced at least.

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.

If they do not release it soon I might just get the "Acer Aspire Timeline AS4810TZ-4508 14-Inch Aluminum Laptop - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)" Acer Aspire Timeline AS4810TZ-4508 14-Inch Aluminum Laptop - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)It is more expensive and a slower processor, but a bigger screen, more RAM, and a DVD writing drive.

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.

I run it for basic usage, not for gaming. The scree is shiny to me. and I watch video on youtube, for my personal feeling, the screen is OK.The laptop's weak-point (for most Acer laptop), when you type the keyboard, sometimes the focus jump away.

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.

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.

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. ☺️

Hmmm...this is so odd. Confirming my earlier post, the Asus is sitting on my lap right now w/ nothing between it and my legs except thin cotton yoga pants -- no problem at all. One would think all versions of this model would be the same, but clearly not. Glad I have a cool one!!! Still loving it after seven plus months, still recommending to anyone who'll listen, still truly awesome battery life.

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.

The key are completely flat, with very little space between keys. When I tried it out at the store, my finger tips kept getting pinched between the keys. My AS1810 is coming next week. Being a former ThinkPad user, I think it's going to take some time for me to adjust to the Acer keyboard.

I really liked everything about this laptop; size, speed, looks... EXCEPT the touch pad. Prior to purchase I had read that some people had trouble with the touch pad but everything else looked good so I decided to take a chance. Unfortunately, very soon after purchase the touch pad started acting wonky and just got worse with time. IF you are someone that uses a mouse with a laptop and this is the screen size you are looking for, then YES, I would say it would be a good replacement. I prefer Windows 7 over Vista and again, the speed on this machine is great.
