    Anyone notice that the keyboard on the 4125 is a little flakey? Meaning that certain keys take more pressure than others to work. I'm thinking of the spacebar in particular, it seems that if you don't hit it the middle it doesn't work right. On the R3000 I had the keyboard was perfect no problems like that.

    I type with average weight, on my Powerbook I have no issues like this so I'm thinking there is something wrong with this one. Anyone else notice this?

    You're probably noticing this b/c Apple and IBM have the best keyboards in the notebook world. HP doesn't have perfect keyboards, but I guess it's a matter of getting what you paid for.

    This is the first time I have heard someone complain about the keyboard.

    It's interesting because I think it is one of the worst ones out. I have to press firmly on every key to make certain letters don't get dropped.

    Never hear anyone else complain about it.
