    I haven't bought an AMD based laptop since the Pentium M came out. Do they still have heat issues?

    Anyways, why does the error of the rightside shift key and CTRL key happen, and how can I fix it?

    Also, I noticed that it has bluetooth, which seems rare for a laptop of its price. What could account for this? How much do you think the bluetooth feature is worth? This feature makes me hesitate to return this computer.

    The problem with this laptop so far is that it's:
    1. slow if I run maybe 7 tabs and another software like Skype (obviously, because of the AMD core).
    2. Its keyboard is really bad. (my fingers could be damaged typing on this)
    3. It doesn't have the page down and page up keys on the top (it does on the side but I want it on the top)

    so.. how do u make the right shift and Ctrl actually working? What kind of problem is this.
