    Hi, I've been floating around here a while now. Narrowed it down to one of these two machines thanks to you lot. Looking for something along these lines :

    15.4" WUXGA
    P9500
    4Gb DDR3 1066MHz
    9800M GT/GTS

    Thing is though, I'd prefer a keyboard with a 'proper' full-sized return key rather than one which looks like another shift key. Can you tell me if these machines have a big one ;) or not.

    btw is the Novatech a M860TU as I don't think its got a fingerprint reader thingy?

    Hi iGoat and welcme to the forum.
    thats the same spec as ive got on my Nexus and its a beast.
    i know what you mean about the return key. it is slightly smaller than my other computer but not as bad as some of the pics ive seen.no idea what country that keyboard is from.

    first 2 pics are my keyboard and the 3rd is the advert one with a different return key.
    hope this helps.

    Cheers MrDJ. Thanks for posting those pics. That's really helped a lot and put my mind at ease. Really don't like the other type of return key.

    the "other" type there is a standard US keyboard...What most people on these boards are probably used to. Notice the swapping of the " and @ among other differences
