Hello Guys.

Just got my Acer Ferrari a few days ago and finally got some time to play with it. I noticed that the keyboard makes clicking noises when you gentle run your finger to to top corner of a key and then it makes another click noise when you run it diagonally down to the btn corner of the key. It seem to happen to about every key of the keyboard. Seem the keys might all be lopsided?

Can you guys test your keyboard and see it that is an issue.
Hate to have to return a nice machine for keyboard issues.

Also the fan seems to run 100% of the time when the machine is on. The fan noise is bearable.

Thanks.
j.

Looks like other Ferrari users are having the same issues as you. The keyboard is probably just a characteristic of your laptop - no keyboards are perfect (save maybe for a ThinkPad ).

Also - the fan will stay on the whole time, because the Turion ML produces a fair amount of heat (for a mobile CPU anyway) and the Radeon X700 also causes some of the heat. So, that is normal.
