acer mouse pads

Are they all crap ? I have an aspire e13 and it's just slow or unresponsive. Think I read a review afterwards about it. Is there anything I can do? It's painful.

Have you adjusted the mouse settings in properties as this should sort it out

i have an acer aspire E15-571 bought in jan this year. the touchpad is useless. i should have taken it back and got a refund but it had taken me days to set up and i couldn't be bothered (yes stupid i know).
contacted acer who said it's a windows issue and should be corrected by a windows update. it never was.
sometimes it works ok other times the pointer does not move at all when the touchpad is used. very frustrating as my older acer aspire 5536 was perfect.
i have now resorted to using a logitech cordless mouse and its so much better but still not right that the touchpad is so rubbish.
ironically having updated the laptop to windows 10 and then reverting back to 8.1 (as it seemed a touch laggy in windows 10) the touchpad seems a lot more responsive. it could be my imagination or just the fact that being an intermittent fault it has not resurfaced....yet?

You could try booting the laptop using a live GNU/Linux distribution and see how responsive the touchpad is.

That way you'd determine whether the problem is hardware or software related.

No idea what this means in English!

I'll try update to win 10 and see what happens
