View 10 RepliesPutting channels of blank space BETWEEN their keys looked like a style over substance gimmick to me, but once you start typing on it you understand why it's this way.
That design is very forgiving. You are only pressing one key at a time no matter how clumsy a typer you are.
I.D.K. if it also contributes to structural integrity, but I'm coming from having a few thinkpads, supposedly the best keyboards- and they are great- but apart from the trackpoint if you like it, the new vaio keyboards are not a downgrade in any respec
I'm looking at a 14in CW and I have a few questions:
1. How is the keyboards/trackpad?
2. What does the "crystal rain white" look like in person?
3. How is the 330 in games like CounterStrike and WoW?
4. What is the resolution? I assume 1366x768?
Is there any lighted keyboard available for the 1520.
Factory equipped or otherwise?
Is it possible to leave the light on, for those glowing quickkeys at the top of the keyboard?
I find it hard to locate them quickly (e.g. mute, or eject), even in a brightly lit room.
The dark grey icons are hard to see depending on lighting/angle/glare, etc. When I press them, they light up very nicely and I can see them very well.
I've got aproblem with my Vostro 3550 - Core i3.
Everytime i shut it down, windows shuts down correctly and the screen goes blank, BUT the power led still burns.
Also the power button is still lighted.
I can't switch it on using the power button. I've to unplug power or hold the power button for 4 sec.
Hardware test runs fine, no problems so far at all.
Nothing changed, only updates for windows.
my brand new HP DV7T-Quad system's keyboard letters fading/rubbing off after only owning the system for less then a month.
I got the keyboard replaced and I've only had the new keyboard in for 3 days (GENUINE HP)! The new keyboard is now starting to do the same thing. I'm not doing anything to the keys but typing on them...I don't understand what is causing this, nor don't I understand why others are not complaining about their letters on their keys disappearing after normal use?
I really need some feedback on this, I'm not going to keep paying for new keyboards every other week for the life of this thing. This is obvioulsy a HP issue. Fading is normal after a year or so but not a month and not 3 days!
HP refused to send me the keyboard to let me replace it on my own, so I purchased one off of eBay (it's a genuine part not a fake.)
Does the E6400 use the same crappy keyboard as the Dell E4300 that I'm returning?

It said made for the 5315 but it was smaller. I went on ebay and there alot of replacement keyboards for ACER 5315. I just want to make sure I buy the correct one.
The keys on my Studio 1737 are very difficult to press. I'm a good touch typist, and this just requires way too much hammering to keep my speed up.
Same thing happened when I got my first Inspiron 1705, but I found out that there were multiple manufacturers for those keyboards. One of them made light touch, the other made very heavy touch (though not as bad as the 1737). Swapping the keyboard solved the problem.
the backlit keyboard on an m6400. Is there a way to configure how long it stays on until it fades? Or even to just make it stay on 100% of the time when plugged in?
Of secondary importance would be a way to control the brightness, but mostly I want the keyboard to remain lit much longer than it does.
These questions go out to the owners of the new 17" unibody Macbook Pro. Before I may my final purchase...I was hoping you could help clarify a few things as I have yet to see any reviews for this particular laptop in full depth... especially here on notebookreview.
1) Does the laptop get pretty warm? The palm rest? The bottom of the laptop when putting it on my lap?
2) The edge-to-edge display, do you notice any dusts getting in it? Is there an issue with dust going inside at all? I have an HP dv5t with that infinity display and I have to say, I have 2-3 dust specs inside the dang thing.
3) When you close the laptop, do the keyboards leave marks on the screen? What if I use that keyboard protector that Apple has on their website?
4) Any issues with grease building up on the black keyboard?
The new Thinkpad keyboards no longer have a dedicated PrtSc key. I've looking in the User Manual but there doesn't appear to be a reference to PrtSc. how to capure the screen for Win 7 on the T540p.

I saw this on the Sony site and wondered if anyone has this or knows of a bag similar? I would like to find one that is as slim as a carrying sleeve but with handles

I really don't care about the new i7's that are coming out, because I planning to get one sometime next year when they reach at a least 2.0GHz and at an affordable cost.

View 6 Replies View Relatedhaving a hard time deciding between these two. I think in the end it'll come down to which screen size I like better.
But anyway, I was reading the review on the CS here and it says the battery lasted just under 4 hours but there's a higher capacity battery.
While trying to CTO Z690 w/ blu-ray option SONY just gives u the option for 4GB DDR3
View 3 Replies View RelatedI lose about 5~10% of my battery life in a 12 hour period after shutting down my computer and unplugging it from the wall.
Anyone else experiencing something similar? No one else has brought it up for this new Z so I was wondering if I'm just a minority (granted the laptop is new and not many people have it yet)
I am in Shanghai and went to demo a new Vaio Z at a local SonyStyle store with a 3.06GHz CPU and Dual SSDs raided. The unit had Vista 64bit and 8GB of RAM... surprisingly though, no BluRay just a DVD Burner... go figure...
I tried to have someone explain to me if the design of the Z was changed because on my Z (model VGG-Z27GN) internally there is only space for one 2.5" drive (and nothing else really).
If the new Z's can accommodate 2 HDs inside, some major internal redesign had to be made. Does anyone know if this is the case or if maybe Sony is using some sort of two 1.8" Drives instead that they RAID together
I just got mine in the mail today. It says online that it's built in but I don't know how to access or find it (I got CTO without WWAN, and pro w/fresh start)?

I'm going to buy a FW-390 tomorrow morning and I want to know if the Full HD Screen is necessary or not.
I have heard that the X-Brite Eco's back lighting is uneven so some parts of the screen are dimmer than others which is simply unacceptable.
On the other hand I have heard complaints regarding the Full HD about the fonts being too small due to the resolution being too high on such a small screen ....
Just upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4GB onto my VGN-SZ650N/C and after booting back to Windows XP SP3 only see it as 3GB but BIOS see it as 4G
