Could you post pic of your sitting on that? Are you so far satisfied with the PAD? Do fans make lots of noise? I am considering to get something like this for my m5750 since I like to have keyboard little bit inclined...

Nice Review

Hello all, newbie here.

A really nice review and the photos took me back to that day I carefully opened the boxes and explored their contents.

I bought my M5550 in November 2006 and I still smile each time it boots up.

That review does make me wanna get the m5550. My wife even likes it and has started configuring...

@ Alcilan: you have the UK version of the m5550. The keyboards on that are slightly different from most of the pics - i.e. the return button is usually different config in europe compared to US - but what is the rest of the laptop keyboard like? Can you compare it to anything you have used? Particularly the space bar.

Thanks

Hi Newbie2,

Yes, mine is the UK version, built in Ireland.

As far as I can see, the keyboard is very similar with the exception of the relocation of a few keys and a much larger, enter key which suits me just fine!

Obviously, there is the pound sign on the "3" key (dollar is on the "4"). The backspace key doesn't have the wording, just the back arrow and the "@" and "#" are relocated. Other than that, not a lot of difference.

As far as how it feels in use. It's very positive, slightly spongy but much better than the clattering keys of an Acer I also use and far quiter and more professional feeling than my works Toshiba. The only downside I've noticed is that all the function keys at the top of the keyboard flex slightly when you hold "Fn" and press a function key but not a real problem. The space bar is fine as far as I can see. The only thing I have noticed is that it is getting shiny on the right-hand side but that's oils from my thumb. Can't blame Alienware for that. All in all, it's a very pleasant keyboard to use.

Hope that helps.
