Yeah, since I made the rant I have learned to acually appreciate the F7 key, because the touchpad of the Acer is overly sensitive. Seems to be enough that the casing bends a little...? Don't even have to be near the touchpad of the cursor to jump around and what I'm typing ending up in a different place before I can stop my fingers. So the F7 key is kinda nice, once you're aware of it. (but download and read the docs... nah, probably won't happen)
