I have had this computer for about 6 months now. I love the giant display, the keyboard has a lovely feel to it, it is fast for my MS Office and web needs, and the battery life is acceptable for my usage. (about hours on an overnight charge.)

That being said, after trying plenty of different ways of troubleshooting this thing, I still have serious issues with the way the cursor jumps all over the place. Letters, correspondence, electronic mail, etc. are an extreme challenge since there does not appear to be a permanent fix to this issue. I bought this laptop computer because it had lovely ratings, needed space, and the portability of a laptop computer that had a display that I could read. Now, I have it attached to a separate mouse, so I am not using the touchpad at all. Still, the keyboard is so sensitive to my heavy key presses, that it interprets it as something else and jumps to some other part of the screen at random, leading to typos and often ends in some text disappearing. With word processing I can at least redo the last edits, but with electronic mail or blogs, it is hard having to edit or re-type very every other sentence. So far to type this much has taken me about 18 minutes...and I am a respectable typist.

If not, possibly I'll must get another computer that I hope will work better.

I am tempted to try and attach a separate keyboard to this, but I figure if by attaching a separate mouse has not helped the issue, getting a separate keyboard probably won't do me any lovely either, not to mention take up more space on my already crowded table...
