    I recently picked up a new N81vp after reading many user reviews on the unit. There are some scattered complaints of keyboard flex here and there, but I have a hard time believing that my unit is "normal">

    All of the keys in the upper left region, from escape down to the letter e have an enormous amount of flex. It feels like the entire frame below sinks several millimeters. The keys also have a very loud "click" sound regardless of how hard I press them.

    Is this typical of laptop keyboards? Is it posible my unit is defective?
