    Hey guys, I've been a lil confused as to which model I have for the 1651. Somewhat trivial, but decided to share this with you guys anyways. There are two things that's quite weird: the keyboard and the screen.

    I thought all WSXGA+ screens were matte, but clearly, I was wrong. My screen is WSXGA+ Glossy.

    Also, the keyboard layout is different from the other 1651s, namely the arrows aren't so cramped in any more! Yay.

    Anyone else have any idea what's going on here?

    This is the 1651-011 which replaced the 1651-004 non-glare.

    Out of curiosity, does your keyboard flex in the middle as described by others on notebookreview?

    Yep, it flexes. But it's the first time I've seen the arrows being quite normal.

    Definitely very cool, although when I use the number pad my thumb rests on the far left of the 0 key :mad:
