I bought a Aspire V5-571P for my wife to use for her Transcription business. It's a great computer except for 1 problem. She has to hit the space bar key hard to get it to work. When shes typing, it is a problem having to slow down or backspace to make sure there is a space. At times she has had to hit it multiple time for it to work. I have read where there was a problem with the keyboard on older models. Doe anyone else have this problem? Or know a fix for it?

I'm thinking of buying this computer but I've heard numerous problems with the spacebar.  Can you let me know when there is a design change that fixes the problem?

I have SPACEBAR NOT WORKING correctly when pressed also.  I bought a refurb. R7-571-6858.  Typing on it now ... pressing hard near the center of the SPACE BAR to make sure there's a space!  Pressing within 1" of the edge of either side of the ~4" long SPACEBAR leaves you with No Space on your screen.  You absolutely KNOW ACER knows ALL about this design and/or manufacturing defect or Quality issue that was allowed to proliferate.  If Idon't press hard then your text will look like this: Himy name is Robert andIhave boughtarefurbishedR7laptop andwhenpresingonthe spacebarwith normalpressureyour Resume'vforthat newjobwilllooklikethis! Goodluckgetting that job!  Hope Acer wil take responsibility and fix your Laptop!

This is really simple.  Contact your local Acer service center to set it up for repair.

I think you're missing the point.  The spacebar is garbage on every single Acer R series laptop.  Are you suggesting that every Acer owner send their laptop in for repair?  It is a design flaw, plain and simple.
