    I accidentally found out that this is a meaning for the abbreviation "G1S:"

    "G1S Good One Side (plywood grade)"

    :D

    i think he is talking about a type of plywood, that has a smooth finish on one side only. naming a laptop after a type of plywood finish is quite humerous i thought

    i think he is refering to the flex on the keyboard? no flex on the right side but some flex on the left side. Hence good on one side?

    G = Good
    1 = One
    S = Side

    G1s is a term used for plywood, where one side is sanded, smoothed and wax while the other is raw.

    The smooth treated side used for various things(The 'Good Side')

    The raw untreated side.

    God. The right side of the keyboard is good. the other side isn't. therefore Good one Side. G1S. Also happens to be an actual acronym meaning that but applying to plywood. Just a funny coincidence. Damn. Now it isn't even funny anymore.

    To be honest, the whole G1 keyboard issue has really been put out of proportion, it isn't as bad as it sounds like, there was some flex at the top left if pressed hard enough, but it was totally fine unless the user is a Monster Masher.


    I mean, keyboard masher.
