Either way, since this Acer is so affordable, I can excuse this and don’t expect it to be perfect experience when typing for me

It doesn't matter how many tabs I have open, no matter what I have going in the background, the Acer never misses a step.

I wish it was possible to give this unit, as well as Acer support, MINUS 5 starts.

and I've had many great Acer Chromebooks.

A Chromebook that is comparable to this and cheaper in price but similar in function is the Acer Chromebook 14, which I recommend you take a look at if you are tight on budget.

After doing some googling in attempt to fix it before shipping it back, I read that Acer has touchpad issues across the board
