LOL<br /><br />We're going Wal-Mart this weekend and I might very well get me a mouse, too. I can't STAND trying to scroll or move the cursor with that touch pad and I tend to keep tapping it too much, so it does things I'm not expecting it to do- like clicking on things too many times. Took me a while to realize that's what I was doing.<br /><br />My laptop keyboard is nearly as big as a regular computer one, but the keys are all smooshed close together so it seems smaller to me and the keys are flatter and they have a "softer" push touch than what I'm using on the PC. That's going to take some getting used to.<br /><br />Mine is also intended for writing only. Maybe it's like a new pair of shoes- just gotta keep "walking" in them until they get comfortable. I sure hope so.Taryn Rayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111240475586597010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593537129708633105.post-91442539732403508962010-02-26T11:36:28.325-05:002010-02-26T11:36:28.325-05:00Taryn, best of luck with the laptop.

I didn't go through all the rigmarole you did because I have Word on a disk and simply installed it. BUT... I quickly found out I had to learn to type all over again because the laptop keyboard is smaller than the regular pc. Also, I think they're designed wrong. That big space where you place the heels of your hands shouldn't be there. It's very awkward, if you ask me. It distances the keyboard. I also ran out and bought an external mouse. Just try copying, pasting, and generally moving text around with that touch pad. I found it impossible to do. Long story short, I am not in love with the laptop the way I thought I would be. I hope you have better luck with yours. Everyone I know who uses a laptop wouldn't trade them for the world, but I'm not there yet. ;o)Devon Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147639030654251761noreply@blogger.com
