    Do you have any actual pics of the ms-1761 or can you confirm any details such as the steel series keyboard, backlit, led options, etc?

    Thanks! :D

    I believe there have only been 2 pics posted of it in another thread.

    It was said already though that it wont have all the bells and whistles of the premium model IE no SS keyboard,Turbo buttons etc.

    If you look to the 15inch models and what they are missing it will be very similar to that on the 17inch.

    I know i am getting one and can/will have to live with out the fancy extras .

    Hopefully someone will get the SS keyboard working to a degree on the Barebone which is what i want most of the premium model.

    Ok, if the are no 'Turbo buttons etc', I wonder whether we can get the same functions to work via the S-Bar application. If so, then I would happily forego a shortcut button for a $300 plus saving :)
