    I think you mean TZ...

    Yay! They put rubber feet on the sides of the LCD - less LCD+Keyboard contact. However, there doesn't seem to be any where the keyboard is, so it looks like it'll flex and touch still :(

    Here are some more random thoughts:
    - I wish they'd put a fn key on top of the arrow keys, so you can page up/down with one hand.
    - I prefer the AV buttons at the top like the TX as buttons at the bottom are hard to press when you're using the notebook in bed. Not possible now since that area is used for the battery though.
    - The thinner bezel of the TX looks nicer :\ (but it is still pretty good looking)
    - Shiny surfaces = finger print magnet
    - Cover on LAN sucks :(
    - Status LEDs on the bottom lip are harder to see

OK with a fn key on the right side of the keyboard too, but this must not imply that the right shift key will be made smaller than it now is on the tz, because a well sized and good located right shift key has been a very good thing both for the T, TX and now TZ (in contrast to the first TR, which had a cramped ill-located right shift key).
