Hi Ibrahim
That sounds great.  I have a 16 month old boy, who has pulled keys off my
laptop several times.  I've been very lucky so far and have been able to
re-fit them all, but this keyboard sounds more child proof.
 
thanks again.

Hi Terry.
 
Oh sorry, I wasn?t sure what you were driving at.  Yes, the keys are
noticeably separated from each other, you can put your finger nail between
the keys and feel the hard raised plastic ledge between each key.  The
keyboard is completely sealed off though, unlike the Q310 where it is
possible to lift the key tops.
 
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim 
 
Sorry for asking again.  Can you actually feel where one key ends and the
next key starts?  A row of tiles has slight depressions all around the four
sides, so you can feel where one tile ends, and the next starts.  Or are you
saying that the keyboard feels completely flat to the touch, with just the f
and j raised markers.

Hi Terry.
 
Imagine if you will a wall of tiles like you might find in a bathroom or
kitchen.  The keys are flat squares set flush against the casing of the
machine, so there?s no raised edge or anything for that matter on them,
they?re just flat and level with each other.  This is what is meant by a
tyled keyboard, and your either gonna like it or lothe it.  I personally
love mine, but then that?s me.
 
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hello Ibrahim 
 
Just one last thing.  Are the keys easy to feel?  i.e. is there some sort of
raised edge around the four sides, or is it that there is a slight
depression around the four sides.
 
Thanks again.

Hi Terry.
 
Likewise, I was looking for a compromise between a laptop and a netbook, as
netbook?s just weren?t living up to my needs and I?ve had a fare few of them
in the past.
 
The Q330 I?d say is a little lighter and certainly thinner and more compact
than the Q330, its got a much sleeker casing to it making it more space
efficient as well as bringing the weight down, though its still a 13.3 inch
machine.  I bought mine from www.box.co.uk which had it at around £450 I
think and that was the 500GB model.
 
All the best and good luck what ever you decide to get.
 
Cheers, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim 
 
So is it more compact than the Q310?  
 
I've seen it vary in price, e.g. ebay £400 - £650, and similar prices
elsewhere.  Some come with 500gb hard drive, and some with 320gig.  
 
Is it lighter than the Q310?
 
I wanted to just have one main laptop, something in-between a lightweight
net book, but with more power that you get with a normal decent spec laptop,
and of course a good battery life.  
The Q330 seems to be somewhere just about there.
Thanks for any feed back as always.

Hi Terry.
 
I recently upgraded from the Q310 to the Q330 and I have to say I think the
upgrade is worth the money.  The sound quality of the laptop is nothing to
shout about, probably on a par with the machine you already have, the
keyboard however is a different story.  Everyone has a different opinion
about the Q330?s keyboard it seems, your either gonna love it or hate it but
I love mine.  The keys are tiled, meaning that there is virtually no gap
between them and better still, any gaps there are are neatly covered, so
nothing can get in to the workings of the keyboard when your typing with
dirty fingers. The Q330 has a Core I3 processor and DDR3 memory so its nice
and speedy but because its a sub £500 machine, their has to be economy and
so if your Q310 had the NVidia graphics, the Q330 will come with Intel?s
standard HD graphics option, plus the display from what I gather isn?t top
spec, not that that bothers me particularly.  Battery life is about 5.5
hours on a single charge, and I myself carry a spare so I can go pretty much
all day without a charge.  A good all round machine if your looking for a
pocket friendly portable with all the essentials.
 
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi all
 
Was wondering if anyone on the group had the above laptop.  I'm currently
using the q310, and wanted to know if it was worth upgrading to the q330.
 
Its not going to be any slower than the one I have which has jaws installed,
but was more looking at the lay out of the keyboard, and especially the
sound quality, and general feel of the machine.
 
Thanks for any input if you have one of these machines.
Terry
