Keyboard and touchpad

The Dock keyboard of the machine is a slim and stylish design with keys designed island-style, large size, and a good bounce to manipulate favorable input. Minus’s point of this keyboard is to create slightly smaller size keys like Shift to the right, sometimes interoperability Shift key, and press the arrow keys by mistake-prone.

Keyboard with integrated touchpad 78.74 x 45.72 size mm while manipulating quite “erratic” and not smooth. Acer said this is just one small problem because the touchpad and touch screen of the machine has been optimized for Windows 8 should not support touchpad gestures. The two left, and right mouse buttons integrated quite hard to manipulate.

Temperature

Watching a video online on Hulu for 15 minutes with the setting full-screen display, the temperature on the touchpad nearly 24 celsius, position between the G and H keys measured temperature is 24.75 degrees celsius; however, the right edge of the measured temperature is quite high.
