> Have you laid hands on the A30? If I don't like the keyboard I'll > hate the laptop. No matter what the bells and whistles. I touched an A-series once (someone brought one to an installfest); and I've worked with IBMs before (and even own one). I prefer the IBM keyboard to every other manufacturer's; with the possible exception of sony. but that may just be personal preference.
