Other than the Ferrari 4005 WLMi that I reviewed years ago, I’ve never had an Acer notebook with what I would deem a proper keyboard. Now, a goofy key arrangement such as the layout of the current Aspire 6920G keyboard is one thing but the sponginess inherent in your keyboards is at the point now where I wonder if this isn’t some joke perpetrated against consumers. You could only make such terrible keyboards on such a consistent basis if that was in fact your purpose all along. It takes a concerted effort on the part of many bright people to make such lousy human/computer interfaces when most of your competition seem to have figured this out. We are victims of your hunt and peck conspiracy.
I am only half kidding. Here is a review from a couple years ago – the Aspire 5112WLMi. The 6920G is even worse. In fact some key presses do not even register.
Moral of the story? Try before you buy!
