I purchased an Acer Aspire One 531 netbook the other day. My only gripe is the touchpad; it seems especially with netbooks the touchpad's aren't as smooth and with this particular netbook the touchpad has the same problem...its not as smooth as my ADVENT laptop's touchpad and its difficult to use my finger on the touchpad without it slightly skipping due to material/texture of the touchpad. Whereas with my ADVENT laptop I can glide my finger on the touchpad fine without problems as its much smoother (probably uses a smoother material).

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I don't particular want to send this netbook back (as I do like it) and as I originally owned an ADVENT 4211C but that netbook had the same touchpad problem so I sent that one back but I haven't seen too many product reviews on the Acer One 531 and the ADVENT 4211/4211C specifically about this problem but reviews from others with these netbooks say the touchpad is not as smooth as other laptops either so its definitely not just me.

Thanks.
