    I'm considering buying a dell xps m1210 in the UK but was wondering whether the keyboard has the typical British "enter" key, which is twice the height of other keys. I like it that way but the uk Dell website seems to have pictures of typical international enter keys, which are just one key in height

    Secondly, would people who have had their M1210s for a while now still recommend it, particularly for travelling purposes? Or does the honeymoon period end at some point... Does the thickness/weight get annoying after a while, when other ultra portables are so much lighter or do the positives still outweigh the negatives?

    Thanks

    Ive had mine for a few months now and I still love it. Its very portable, and something that dosent weigh 5 pounds really isnt that annoying to carry. Yeah its thick for its size, but thats because its got a ton of stuff in it. I still recommend it. And I can say from a college students POV, it can take a beating, liquids on the keyboard included.
