There is an adjustment for mousepad sensitivity. Open the control panel. In the search field in the upper right type in the word "mouse". You should see a menu with "mouse" at the top or perhaps "mousepad". Click on that and you should see options to set sensitivity.

I have. And even with having it disabled while typing if my thumb twitches it counts it as a button click which has caused me a lot of problems. My network card will either struggle to get connected (which is a real pain at school because it can take up to 15-20 minutes before it connects) or it completely drops the connection after awhile (which is a pain if you just finished filling out a lengthy online form and then have to do it again).
As for Asus, I haven't heard that many good things about them.

Putting on my IT hat, my mind goes to other possible reasons from viruses to failing hardware depending on how it is now, whether it ever worked Ok and so forth.

As far as reputation goes, individuals have good and bad things to say about them and that might be by model. ASUS Laptops - 2014 Brand Review and Rating - Laptop Mag is pretty favorable.

It's just the way this computer is. Even after I reformatted it and replaced Windows 8 with Ubuntu, it still has the same problems (and oddly Ubuntu was the only Linux distro I could get to load).

 

[Wu Wei]

Only 60? I'm not giving you any more respect.

so are you then going to give him the same amount of respect you always did?

 

[Wu Wei]

Some people sleepwalk.
I sleepeat.

How many pillows have you had to replace, or possibly mattresses?

 

[Smart_Guy]

Okay, that's it... that is it!

I'm gonna turn in, go to bed and hit the sack (the polite interpretation) at the same time!

 

[Wu Wei]

Good night, good night until we meet again
Adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen 'til then
And though it's always sweet sorrow to part
You know you'll always remain in my heart

Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you
Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true
And now 'til we meet again
Adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
Good Night!

Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you
Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true
And now 'til we meet again
Adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
Good Night!

 

[Smart_Guy]

Dude, are you trying to give me insomnia with those?

 

[Wu Wei]

Actually I felt it would bore you to sleep

 

[Smart_Guy]

Oh no, you're posts don't bore me, of course not. They just make me want to go splinkers (dunno what that means really)

 

[Wu Wei]

Oh go to sleep already.......

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I don't want to go to school today, but I have homework due.

 

[Draka]

My daughter has the most stubborn fever. It just won't go away (started Saturday), keeps coming right back as soon as meds wear off. And she's on antibiotics too and it still won't stay down. Sent home from school today because it came back up.

I am not so dense as to eat the bedding!
But I have had some kitchen towels go missing.

I take my online hat off to you for loading Ubuntu and trying that. Clearly you have a lemon.

 

[Wirey]

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice the girls at work get prettier once you findout they like you?

 

[sun rise]

Our POTS phoneline went out, my wife's car was 2 quarts of oil down and over 1/3 of the people at a volunteer job I co-captain are out mostly sick.

 

[Revoltingest]

I had a chance to go bowling tonite.
I turned it down.
Close call.
