Yes, I am aware of the contrast adjustment and agree that it has a wide range of adjustment. The keyboard itself is fine. Getting it at a comfortable angel makes typing comfortable.
It’s more about the LCD being inset, I think. I have to put a lamp directly above the LCD to be able to see the top line or first and last column (depending on the angle of the room lighting. The shadows are the main issue. It’s probably just more that I am not used to it. I imagine the corrections that need to be made are automatic for you guys at this point. It is what it is and I wasn’t knocking the M100. The thing is a technological marvel of its time. Just giving an impression of a first-time user in 2020. Scott M.

You can either get the viewing angle just right or the typing angle just right, but so far I have been unable to achieve both. The original purpose of this thing was for journalists to type up their articles. I bet that was just painful. 😊 I first want to make sure you're aware that the dial on the right side of the machine adjusts the LCD viewing angle, and it has a pretty generous range of adjustment. I do a lot of typing on my 102 and I would not characterize it as painful. While the keyboard isn't quite as good as some of the high end keyboards I have around the house (I have a collection of Model Ms that see daily use and I have a couple of Matias ALPS-alikes for the Macs when they are docked) the 102 keyboard is the best laptop keyboard I have ever used. I consider it a joy to type on, and the screen adequate if slow for programming and writing tasks. I am constantly looking for excuses to do something on the 102 rather than a bigger computer.
