    Hi all,

    I'm considering one of those laptop and I saw some pictures of both with different keyboard layout concerning Ctrl and Fn key.

    I'm one of those who can't stand having the FN key on the left where should be the Ctrl key.

    I've seen pictures of the Q210 with Ctrl on the left and pictures of Q310 with Fn on the left.

    Could someone who owns a Q210 confirm me that the Ctrl key is on the left ?

    Thanks.

    Hi.

    the CTRL key on my UK Q210 is in the bottom left corner!

    Regards

    John.

    All the new Samsung notebooks since mid-2008 have put Ctrl in the corner.

    Maybe this was a change late in the development stage and the photos are of prototypes which used a different keyboard layout. The current keyboard layout is consistent with the User Guides.
