Question: Cursor jump When I am typing, the cursor suddenly jumps back to an earlier line or word.  Any ideas on what is causing this?
Document: The touch pad is so sensitive that it moves cursor when anything gets close to it. Even when ur hand gets close but doesn't touch touch pad the cursor jumps. So with small keyboard u cannot avoid constant cursor jumps so typing on word is difficult. Other than that long battery life and good netbook.
I've only had this netbook for a few weeks. I have a problem when it comes to typing - the cursor jumps all over the place or just disappears completely. Apparently, Asus technical service is non-existent. I've tried contacting them three times in the past two weeks and have had no response yet. Their site says you will be contacted with 48 hours! If technical support is important to you,  BEWARE! If it wasn't for this problem, I would rate this netbook as a good buy.
How did I ever survive in life without my ASUS Eee PC 1015PED Netbook? While not as powerful as my larger Dell XPS laptop, it has the advantage of compact connectivity without many compromises. This is the perfect tool for use at-home or while traveling. My only complaint is the sensitivity of the touchpad -- the faintest touch of one's thumb is enough to send the cursor across the page during typing. Still, it seems able to perform well for everyday applications.
I installed the standard desktop as well as the netbook interface because I like that better. Some of the earlier versions of netubuntu (easypeasy etc) may not install as easily as the current one.The latest open office is more compatible with microsoft word that microsoft word, and btw the latest word actually supports open office import - so maybe microsoft is realizing that it is a software company and not just an o/s company.Unlike the earlier asus netbooks it doesn't come with a carrying sleeve or restore dvd.
I had many problems after purchasing it. Their technical support always asks to reboot the entire system which causing loss of all information I put in. The Window Starter installed by the manufacture is not compatible with other window's software that causing many word documents can not be opened. The manufacture would not replace the TV except sending it to a repair center for weeks without assurance whether it will work. The manager of the customer service was no help either. Finally the TV stopped working after 30 days.
everytime i call them take more than 30 minutes waiting on the line. finally they saying i can send it back for the warranty repair. but i have to pay for the shipping. so it cost me $15 to send it to them, took them 2 weeks to repair it and send it back to me. after i got it. i found out they did 'repaired' the problem only thing now everytime i have to hold my hand on the charger to charge it.
I am using this computer to complete this review. Overall I like the computer. I travel a lot in rough country and it is small and light. The battery life is realistically the expected one half of the advertised number of hours or about 7 hours for this one. Also it does not have an adjustment for keystroke pressure so if you hit the keys too hard the cursor will jump to another location which is very time consuming. I recommend this computer with these limitations.
This is a gorgeous netbook and it's a fine successor to the 1005 line.
After an accident with another Asus notebook earlier this year, a relative offered to buy me a new one. It was bought on eBay, not on Amazon, as I'd requested, to avoid taxes. I'm concerned, because Asus has unspeakably terrible customer support.I asked for memory, which was bought from Amazon. I took the model from a review here, which I'm trying to find, or an Amazon recommendation. The memory I have is:Kingston2GB PC2-6400 CL5 200-Pin SODIMMWill that work?
Another thing I didn't like is that while they can hold Microsoft Word programs (you can have them installed by whomever you buy the netbook from...), I've beeen told it slows the computer down dramatically. That was very disappointing to hear.
Answer: Your palm could be bumping the touchpad. I know this happens to me a lot. I also have this same netbook and noticed I am bumping the touchpad more often.
