"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.

Nice looking laptop!

Anyone noticed the keyboard layout? The fn key is to the left of ctrl key, just like on a Thinkpad keyboard. However, the right shift key is half size. I've always hated half sized left shift keys.

This is typical for some non-US layouts :evil:

I wouldn't mind having one without the paint job and the swirlies :).

Toshiba has been doing this for years, even for its U.S. line up.

HP started doing this sometime last year.

That being said, I till think my T41P looks better.

These swirlies are chinese style painting about auspicious clouds which are similar to the design of the Olympic torch. If the shape of the laptop could be sharper, I'll like it more.
