Someone sent this to me on my Facebook, after I went on a lengthy rant about how the left shift key on my new Sony Vaio was NOT as the display model showed (it was last year’s model), NOR was it the same as the Future Shop photos displayed online. Not even the pink one, as I previously thought.
I want a PC because that’s what I know and what I like, what I’m comfortable with, but dammit to hell! EVERY SINGLE laptop at the store has this %&*#@&# multilingual keyboard! :mad:
Except for the Macbooks.
The Macbook air at 11.6" has the same screen size as the Sony I bought and returned, yet is a fair bit thinner. It has the same processor speed, same RAM. It has a QUARTER of the hard disk space, owing to the ridiculously expensive flash memory, and yet it costs twice as much.
But because of the keyboard layout, and how much that factors into note taking, essay writing, etc., I’m seriously considering this laptop despite the (IMO) absurd price difference between the two.
I can never sustain my anger long enough for a pit rant, but…yeah…fuck the French keyboard! I can’t even imagine a unilingual Francophone thinking this is a good idea, presuming they type home row like I do! PC makers are really shooting themselves in the foot. :smack:
