I know it's not a huge deal, but WHY do so many laptop makers feel the need to switch them??? it's such a major annoyance for me. I know I'd get used to it rather quickly, but COME ON. just being annoying. I can't decide if I'm going to end up with the 901 or this. The OC button is nice, and the curves on this thing are beautiful, but that damn FN key might be the end of it. the one thing that is making me hesitant is the placement of the CTRL and FN keys.

For the extra ram, 6 cell battery and reasonably assured compatibility I would go for the XP version at that price. Can always put Linux on it later if needed. In any event, this should run at least as well as my 6 year old Compaq Presario 900 tank which is putting a dent in my shoulder. Now, where can I get one when its released on the 16th?

Especially, 6 cell is hard to spot these days. Not big fan of XP, but 6 cell battery and 1gb ram for 100$, it’s very tempting offer. Especially, 6 cell is hard to spot these days.
