    Just a quick question, is there any difference between FL90 and IFL90? I tried to search the forums but couldn't find a likely looking thread. TIA!

    Are you sure you looked hard enough? Sometimes the answers are right under your nose. ;)

    Posted today:
    Also to add on to Donald's post is that the FL-90 iteration doesn't come with the "heat sensitive" touch strip above the keyboard; the FL-90 features actual round buttons in lieu of the touch sensitive strip (WOW Video, WOW Audio, Internet, Mute, etc).

    Also, the FL-90's plastic is bluish in color, rather than the IFL-90's black. Also, the FL-90 doesn't sport the glossy lid as the IFL-90, it's more matte and has some roundrel in the center, supposedly for whatever logo is to be put on there.

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I've been digging around here for a little while and it can be very confusing.

    I see that RJ Tech has an "FL90" whitebook available with the what looks like matte WSXGA+ screen. Looks tempting.

    What is CBB/VBI? Googling turns up this thread and a bunch of non-english sites.

    VBI = Verified By Intel
    CBB = Common Building Blocks (Also an Intel program)
