"Many goods, just a few bads..."
Pros: Great 16 inch screen, very sturdy, great speakers, great speed.
Cons: HEAVY!!! doesnt always catch all of your keystrokes, unreliable touch controls
Summary: Upon first impression, the orange background was a turn off, but i have taken a liking to it. Very "ready to go" right out of the box. Very user friendly. My biggest complaints are the seemingly unresponsive touch controls for the Play, Forward, Email, etc. buttons. I sometimes have to press something like mut 4 or 5 times before it responds. But in it's defense, I have only had this thing for about 15 hours, so im hoping theres something that im not understanding regarding the touch controls. The backlit keyboard is a great addition for typing in a dark room. The other issue i have is with the fact that it feels like the keyboard isnt as responsive as i think it should be for the price. if you write out a 1000 character document, you can expect to probably go over it and make upwards of 20 corrections. not because of your own error but because of the fact that if you type crazy fast, the keyboard may not catch all of the things that youre typing. but its fun to use as a scapegoat. so i wanna say now, anything messed up in this review is the keyboards fault. not mine. ;). Too many times have i mistakenly hit the caps lock button rather than the A key. But that may be an error on my part. i dunno. and tis thing is as heavy as HELL! Holy moly. very heavy. But a terrific screen, blazing speed, great useability, and onboard features more than make up for the things like the lack of blu-ray, the weight, and since I honestly think that I will learn how to work with this keyboard, thats almost a non issue. Best keyboard for under $1000, hands down.
