    Is anyone else experiencing loss of keyboard strokes when typing with this laptop? I'm going to be typing solely on this thing and I want to know if anyone is having this issue. I've spent over 6 months with an old laptop where the "h" key doesn't always register and it really would bother me if this was happening. Anyone?

    How often does it happen? Is it just that you don't push hard enough on the button or it just doesn't register? Is it certain keys?

    Also, would there be an easy way to fix this problem, like an update from Compaq or something?

    Can anyone help me out here? I wanna order this comp today, but was wondering about my previous questions and how much of an annoyance this keystroke thing is because I'm mainly going to be typing on this laptop.
