Dell's business notebooks that get your fingers in a twist
Dell's new Vostro 1310 laptop appears to have a rather large flaw, according to new pics appearing on Flickr.
The bottom row of keys, starting with zxcv, are all one key to the right, so if you touch-type you're bang out of luck on this model.
US models don't have this flaw, which appears to be caused by an abnormally large left shift on UK keyboards. We're waiting for comment from Dell on this issue, but it might be worth spending a bit more doe on a dearer notebook for now.
Update 13:09, Dell's response:
A limited number of Dell Vostro 1310 and 1510 laptops in Europe have been sent out with the wrong keyboard layout. We are working diligently to offer a solution to impacted customers and correct the error before any additional units are shipped. We will be contacting impacted customers directly to both apologise and instruct them on next steps. This issue is under investigation, and we will come back with more detailed information as soon as possible. We will be acting as quickly as possible to find a satisfactory solution for our customers.

I am getting fed up with bad English. The reference to spending 'doe' in this article is stupid. It should be either 'bread' or 'dough'. See any decent dictionary. It seems that proper schooling in the English language has ceased.
