    Does anyone know if this laptop really has a 103-key keyboard or not? All the photos in the area where you purchase this model clearly show a laptop that does not have a numpad... but I have seen other pics floating around that show C-series with the numpad! I tried talking to a Sony rep and they could give me no answers. Amazing that they don't even know how many keys one of their own laptops has...

    If any owners could chime in that would be great! I *really* wanted this laptop, but at the same time I really wanted a numpad... so unfortunately I went ahead and purchased a customized EB-series instead (yeah I got the 1920x1080 screen). I might have to rethink things if it turns out that the VPCCB190X really does have a numpad.

    The pictures shown are probably of the CB's little brother, the CA, which is a 14" and no number pad. The CB definitely has one.

    The CA is a 14" computer with NO number pad. The CB is a 15" computer WITH a number pad. I think Sony is just confusing consumers by making multiple size computers with the same beginning letter.
