Hi Ibrahim
It's just a bit unconventional to a typist to have it where it is on the NC10,
but you get used to it. I just have to stretch out my right pinky finger a bit
further and not bump the back slash where the shift would normally be.

Hi Jackie.
Yes, the right shift key is directly below the enter key. Incidentally, why is
this stupid? I suppose having two Samsung machines, I don't have a problem
with it *smile*. I paid £375 including delivery for mine, but I believe it has
come down in price. As I said, www.saveonsamsung.com have it at a very
competitive price at the moment and their offering free next day delivery.
All the best, Ibrahim.
