    I did hear that non-backlit keyboard on P150EM is chiclet - but it can't be the same part as P150HM, since keyboard on EM is wider. So my question is - could anybody point to any photos of it? All photos I could find show the backlit one.

    I am particularly interested in layout - does it also has windows key on the right of space bar, space bar shifted to the left and duplicate backslash key on the right of spacebar? Or is it actually same layout as P150HM?

    Thanks in advance

    you could actually go ahead and check out the P151EM. it has a nonbacklit keyboard (chiclet style i believe) and swapping to a 180W psu instead of using the standard 120 u could install the same gpus and cpus in that model like in the P150EM :)

    Hmm, checked photos of P151EM which I could find and keyboard definitely looks like on P150HM, this looks promising. I can't really stand what they done to bottom row on this backlit keyboard, I'd gladly give away backlight just to have windows key on the left.

    I wanted to buy from mySN, and they don't appear to sell P151EM. Also it would be pretty pointless to tinker with P151EM, since I want to go with top end config right away, and mySN appear to provide option of non-backlit keyboard for P150EM - so it would be great if its the same part as P151EM (would make sence since I doubt they make special one just for P151)

    My Sager NP9150 / Clevo P150EM with the latest EC/BIOS has Windows key on the left.
