    Just grabbed one of these from costco and I have a keyboard question. On a standard keyboard when I put my hand across the keys and push down lightly, I don't get any movement. However with this new laptop I can visibly see/feel the left side go down, centered around the 'w' 'e' '2' '3' keys. The right side is no problem, but the left side has this problem. This isn't a test that I do to keyboard, but I felt that as I was typing, my left hand had movement that wasn't the standard keys being pressed. Is this normal? I wasn't able to pop out the keyboard, and without a definitive guide floating around (I wasn't able to locate one) I didn't want to force it.


    EDIT: Apparently my mistake was first not knowing the term for this and second was looking at random reviews. For those who are not aware, the keyboard bending is known as "FLEXING". As for the second, more technical/business minded reviewers made note that the acer aspire 722 has a bit of keyboard flexing.

    Yeah, little typo right at the end lol. It's a shame about the flexing though, it'd be perfect otherwise.
