    I've noticed that while I type (pretty quick and touch typing) the cursor often skips to random places, either in the line above/below or earlier in the current line. Could this be something to do with the slight keyboard flex or is it some shortcut that I keep accidently hitting

    You're most likely hitting the trackpad with your palm.

    The same thing used to happen to me with my old alienware, but I changed the sensibility of the touchpad and it never happened again.

    Thanks guys, I was hoping it was just something stupid like that... I will have a fiddle with sensitivity
