Sent a mail to local Acer service centers asking whether they can replace Alps touchpad with Synaptics one. Waiting for the answer…

The Alps GlidePoint device is the best thing you need to start looking for a mouse for your laptop. It is low-resolution, inaccurate, and completely non-finger-friendly. However all vendors make some laptops with Alps and some with Synaptics, even within one product line. C’mon Acer, was it that expensive to ship a decent input device?

I visited city.com store again after buying this laptop and checked all laptops against touchpad responsiveness and sensitivity… And there were only 2 variants. Those that performed well and those that performed in a weird way, so this is pretty common :(
