    Hey all

    I am not sure if it has been asked before....

    I was looking at the pics of the new model, and noticed that to add that keypads, they sort of shifted the keyboard slightly to the left along with the touchpad....

    Is the disproportion of the space between the left and right of the touchpad a big issue. I mean people who have used it in other models with same feature...it is cumbersome at some times?

    Regards

    If you are referring to using a keyboard that is not centered with the screen (because of the addition of a number pad), I asked a similar question about the XPS M1730.

    In general people seemed to not be bothered by it once they got used to it.

    I'm still skeptical about it because I think it would drive me nuts.
