It was working prior to reinstalling Windows, so it's not a hardware issue.

And you are sure the hardware switch is on either by the Fn key or through the S-Bar?

Ok... so I opened the box, set it up and played around a bit with it... registered, etc.

First impressions. Overall great quality. Larger than my current machine despite the reduce resolution. Keyboard is fine in terms of flex and typing, etc... except. I think it was a fail to move that windows key. I know they did it for gamers, but it moves the spacebar too far over. However, I think I will get used to it as I have with all the other quirky laptop keyboards I've used.

As a programmer I use HOME and END a lot and to find them relegated to secondary positions on the PgUP/PgDN keys is another odd choice. Especially when Scroll Lock and Pause/Break get their own keys (does anyone use these anymore???) Does any know of a keyboard remapper program? That would help a lot.

In the middle of installing Windows 7 Ultimate now. Win 7 is actually installed, I'm trying to get the base system up so I can begin installing my tools and games.

More to come...

Same here, I script in LUA and write programs in C++, Used the Hom/End buttons frequently, It's really weird they placed it there but I think I'll have to get used to that.

I do various programming too and also use the Home/End key frequently. This weighed on my mind when comparing this machine to the new ASUS. I figured I could get used to it, but I do like as much consistancy as I can get between keyboards. For me, the GT780R still won out for other reasons.

Thanks for posting about this.

What memory do you have in it?

Is it stock, or upgraded?

It is stock , the only thing I upgraded was the wireless card to Intel 6230. Anyway the screen would not turn on this morning and I sent to be fixed at a local shop.

If it's a major problem, i'll have to sent it back to MSI/Gentech for repair under warranty. I really hope it's a minor problem as this is a great laptop.

Oh yeah... they also added NEXT to the spacebar another pipe "|" and back slash "\" key. No reason for this. It should have been a bigger spacebar.

Lol, first love sure brings the impact XD

But I still don't get it, what does your first love have to do with you being called 'the dog'?
Or were u too influenced by the rap culture, dawg? =p

Anyway, is there any way I could reduce the boot time or the least increase the start up time of my Windows?
I remember I saw my girl's ASUS N53 having the software FastBoot that actually deactivates or delays the startup of other bloatwares and softwares.

Any ideas and suggestions? =)
