I can confirmn that. I'm quite happy with mine. Only problem is that at 1.7G it's rather hungry (for battery power) - more so if for reliable audio at low latencies you have to disable the CPU speed scaling. > funnily enough, I've found the little light they put on the lid > to be essential for gigs, for when you need to see the keyboard :) Yep. When you first try the 'Thinklight' as it's called it seems ridiculously weak. But it's just the right intensity to clearly see the white legends on the black keytops. I also have a USB light on a flex arm, but rarely use for the keyboard - it's too much. But fine for scores etc. besides the computer. -- FA
