I love my new laptop – it is fantastic. I love the keyboard and the picture is the best I’ve ever seen on a computer. I can’t complain about it at all…except for the mouse pad. They have it positioned right where your hand has to go to reach the keyboard so while I’m typing the cursor is jumping around all over the place and opens things I don’t want opened. Then sometimes it seems to go nuts and starts scrolling every which way which makes me nuts too.
I try to keep my hands out-of-the-way of the mouse but it isn’t always easy to do. I’m told it is positioned there so a person can have quick access to it without moving their hand position much and I agree that is a good thing. However, if the pad was even a half inch smaller I wouldn’t have this problem and it would still be accessible. This can be a very irritating thing – especially if I’m working on FarmVille or Farm Town. I’m getting close to being bored with those two things though so will have to start some new games sometime.
I’ve tried to play ChainRxn with this mouse but it can be difficult. Sometimes I want to click the explosion off and the mouse doesn’t respond or goes flying off in another direction. Hmmm.
However, overall I love my laptop – it is everything I had hoped it would be. Yes the volume button was broken when I bought it but I don’t care. The speakers are never good in a computer which is why I have portables to plug in. Granted, I haven’t taken the laptop anywhere which defeats the purpose of buying a portable computer but I will start doing so as I get more comfortable with it.
