I have owned this computer for about six months, and using the keyboard and touchpad have been a non-stop nightmare. I followed Sean's instructions in the customer reviews here and the keyboard/touchpad are working better now: the cursor no longer jumps randomly around the screen (try to deal with THAT while you're writing an email), passing the cursor over an onscreen object no longer immediately triggers it, etc. The space bar is still much less effective than it should be, though--it doesn't trigger easily, so I have to type hard to use it. In general, I would describe this machine as poorly designed for anyone who uses a keyboard extensively. So if you write for a living, don't throw your money away on this thing. In fact, don't throw your money away on this thing, period.
This thing sucks all because but the keyboard is worthless and youre better off plugging a mouse into it and using windows onscreen keyboard and clicking 1 letter at a time to type anything.keyboard is unpredictable, and the touchpad is placed poorly so you are always moving the cursor when you are typing. The multifinger motions are unreliable at best. Don't forget because of the UEFI you wont get another OS installed. No cd drive, no backup disks.
But it is a nice size...I bought one on these for my son less than 90 days ago. The space bar stopped working within the first 30 days. As of today 50% of the screen is blank/with dots. Spend the money and buy a better product, do not waste it on this.
