    Hi, I've been reading reviews and looking at pics of the Sager NP2090. The FN and CTRL keys are switched. Is there any program that can switch the functionalities? This bothers me because I play games. Thanks!

    unfortunately you cant. This is becuase the Fn key is BIOS based. look around in past threads for more deeper explainations.

    yea, u pretty much cant since its a bios thing rather than windows.
    however ..there was firmware for previous sager models that switched the fn and ctrl keys for you.
    hopefully sager will release one for 2090?
    (doesnt seem likely though...the firmware available is for old sager models and there hasnt been any recent ones out)
    lets all bug sager to get one for the 2090 =P

    Yup - as I said in that thread, the only way really is to flash the bios or go in and do a hardware mod... if you dare - I wouldn't on a brand new laptop
