Detailed 6324W Pictures

Some very nice pics!

 

In pic: 20070624_1512(1).JPG you can see what notebookjournal was talking about in their review. The space between body and lid is not even.

 

in pic: 20070624_1513(1).JPG shows the keyboard keys bending up. I dont think any it is a big deal. No reason for notebookjournal to comment so badly about the quality.

 

Weird that the space is only uneven on the one side.
Could it be that the chassis itself drops off on that side? That could also explain the keys appearing to bend up (it's not that the keys change orientation, it's that the chassis is dipping down)?

Looking at those pics it does seem like nbjournal's review is a bit over the top.

 

Looks like the Z is in the wrong position as well....

 

Hehe, well spotted. It's a German keyboard.

 

Do ze Germans uze ze Z more zan ze English?

 

German doesnt have many words that use Y but does use Z alot and therefore they moved the Y of to the courner and move the Z into the middle. German mostly uses I for everything that Y is used for in English. Well it is not that German uses Z alot but more that it hardly uses Y at all.

 

Wiki it

The QWERTZ or QWERTZU keyboard is a widely used computer and typewriter keyboard layout that is mostly used in German-speaking regions. The name comes from the first six letters at the top left of the keyboard: Q, W, E, R, T, and Z. It is pronounced either the same as "quartz" or to rhyme with "squirts".

It differs from the QWERTY layout by interchanging the "Z" and "Y" keys — both because "Z" is a much more common letter than "Y" in German (the latter seldom appearing except in borrowed words), and because "T" and "Z" often appear next to each other in the German language. Part of the keyboard is adapted to include local umlauts, such as ä, ö, ü, etc. There is also a Euro (€ key. Some special symbols also have a different place.

Models based on QWERTZ are used in Switzerland, and in the majority of Eastern Europe and Central Europe countries that use the Latin alphabet, with the exception of Estonia and Lithuania.

A QWERTZ keyboard layout is sometimes informally nicknamed a kezboard, as typing the word keyboard in the QWERTY manner on a QWERTZ keyboard would generate the sequence kezboard. The same is true for QWERTY keyboards in the hands of a person accustomed to a QWERTZ layout.

I get confuse with the us/uk keyboard coz i m used to the german keyboard nowadays. I do enjoy the extra öüä on the german keyboard. But i hate it when some flash games, tends to use ZX as controls and it is so difficult to press the zxcoz they are so far apart.

 

Looks very stylish, kongratuliere & viel Spaß

 

Looks pretty bad. Is that twisting and bending in all laptops or is it just your model? I want to have proper quality keyboard aswell, it is not a cheap laptop.

 

I agree.
I would be curious to know what causes these keybord bending effects:
misconception or misassembing? Is any of these problems fixable even if something is assembled backwaЯds?

 

If removed, the keyboard easily could be bent the way you like it.
