    Hello,

    I'm really interested by this notebook, but some pictures sometimes show a glossy plastic around the buttons, some looks matte,



    for the owners of M50Sv-B1 could you tell me what's the truth ???

    The M50SV-A1 has brushed aluminum around the power/shortcut buttons with a chrome like trim. The surrounding area around this panel is black and glossy. I am sure it is the same for the B1 also.

    Hey !

    I will probably buy it from you XoticPC, so could you tell me how long it takes to deliver to Canada a customized (no paint, only hardware) M50Sv ?
