I just ordered the Darter Pro Gen 9, with the i7 and 3-year warranty support. I read countless reviews, all the bad and all the good, and I looked at several different laptop brands and the different ultraportables that System76 offers. I decided on the Darter Pro; it ticks all of the boxes I would want in a laptop.

The extended warranty is expensive, but it is worth it to me. Every computer I have bought, I have always bought an extended warranty, and I have had to use it in some capacity. I'm going to be using it as my daily driver; this will include progamming and cybersecurity-related stuff that I work on. I'm super excited to join the System76 club!

Three weeks ago I purchased the Darter pro 9. The mouse jumping around while I am typing is driving me crazy. I would describe it as a major problem. I assume and hope that I need to adjust some of the trackpad or mouse timing settings, but have no idea what to adjust them to. I have set the "disable when typing" setting that you mentioned both ways and have not noticed any difference.

Another option is fn+f1 key disable trackpad completely and switch on when needed is the approach I follow
