    Hi Everybody. I eventually received my Fujitsu N3510 laptop. It is pretty amazing machine, really glad that my made this purchase. However, I do have few questions and hope someone can help me.
    I noticed that the mid part of the keyboard does have quite a bit flex when I am typing. (ie. the area where the 'U','I',"O"..keys are.) is this normal? I thought the keyboard is solid on these.
    Also, the first time I turned on the machine, I accidentally pressed the area right to the power button.Of course, it would not do anything because it is just plastic,not a button. However, that piece of plastic flex a lot! I do not know if this is defect or what.
    Also, I am having trouble stay connected wirelessly. It looks like I am connected(the speed always shows 11mb/s, however, I do not seem to receive any signal. Anyone have the same thing happening?
    Thanks a lot for your help, any input will be highly appreciated.

    Hi there,

    On my N3510, the keyboard is solid as rock on every key to the right of the "R" key. To the left side of the "R" key there is some flex.

    With regards to the flexing next to the power button, this is not a flaw but could be present in the american versions without the tv tuner. On the southern hemisphere model that i have, i have the instant mymedia key to the right of the power button so obviously the flex could by from the absence of the mymedia key.

    Finally to your wireless problem. What you have stated is very common in the intel wireless cards, especially in the B/G variety. Have you tried upgrading to the newest driver form the Intel site? It might just fix the problem a bit.
