You'll never know which one I got, because I sent it back.  Too many issues 
with it running Windows; the usual: the OS is distributed not for my ease of 
use, but to make sure I can't copy it.  And the keyboard, full size including 
numeric pad, was just too cheap and hard to use. The feel was "wiggly" and 
there were no lights, not even capslock or numlock.  the mouse-pad was way too 
sensitive, but that could be turned off.

One thing good, when tested with the mint live CD all the special laptop 
function keys worked.  Mint found the right driver for the wireless and 
offered to isntall it for me.  I installed it, under the live CD, and it 
worked.

All in all a rather "interesting" experience:

I sent it back on Wednesday.
