    That's a nice looking machine right there! :D Do you mind posting the 3dmark06 at the resolution of 1280x1024 since that's the default resolution and it would be easier for us to compare with other machines. Cheers. :)

    That's a great-looking laptop, I like the M570RU more and more every time I see it. Thanks for taking the time to take the pictures and post them for us to see.

    Ahaaa! we've got another one.

    thanks for the intuitively smart comment. I really thought everybody lived in the US and have a son or a friend named Billy bob.

    Ofcourse you on the other hand are very smart and different unlike the rest. No, no, no, you were born with a different name. One of greatness and pure domination so they've granted you with the name of Richard Thistle. Im so proud of you :D

    Regarding the KB, i figured clevo would just make one type and just use that same keyboard with different lettering and ship them out or something along that line.

    Well then, if you're so smart as you pretend to be, maybe you should have made your comment a bit more clear?

    as for the different layout: when one needs more/different characters, it isn't always easy to keep the layout the same
    also, if in one country people are used to something different, Clevo has the possibility to either adapt their layout, or sell less
    not that hard to figure out for smart people, is it?

    ^ I never said i was smart............and im not the one who started the smart comments. Correct me if im wrong?

    Now, regarding the keyboard layout. Yes you are right, but let me clarify about my posts. I was just thinking aloud. i didn't point fingers or shout or did any of that stuff. I clearly noticed the diff layout and just mentioned it.

    Ps: Relax chief , im sure most everyone here is more intelligent than i am including you : )

    lolz
    I guess all the references to the US everywhere kinda got to me, so to speak
    and I suppose I got out of bed with my wrong leg this morning :p

    anyhow, I would't really call myself smart either ;)
    and I certainly aint a chief :p

    lets forget about this, and be buddies ... we're all here for the same purpose: to help others and learn something in the mean time :)
