How the KEYBOARD looks like!? Why Amazon does not publish the photo of this, the most important, part of the laptop?

Is there anyone in Atlanta (GA) / Kennesaw area that bought an Acer Aspire S3 and is willing to meet with me for 20 minutes or so? I really like this laptop but I don't want to buy it before I see it. I am afraid that if I buy it online, the store might not want it back for who knows what reasons. Thank you Ariel

I talked to a guy at MacMall and he told me that it included the dock and keyboard, but it was $1,500+. I emailed Amazon last night with the same question. I'll update my post it I hear anything from them. ***Amazon customer service says they don't know either. They told me I could order and send it back if it's not what I wanted.***

that was not my experience. Mine was just as this image appears on the listing. Anything other than that is not what you ordered. I did find the keyboard cover was a little less than stellar but I did not mind that. The cover looks awesome on my computer as I love pink!

I just purchased this model a couple weeks ago and there is no keyboard cover. The keyboard is quite nice compared to other brands I have used, but just make sure you plug in and out the drive a few times before it works.

I am sure many are asking the same question! @Amazon PLEASE ANSWER... btw, did you purchase the laptop??

Yes, mine had a keyboard cover as advertised. It's clear (not purple, as I had kinda hoped.) They also threw in a stylus as an unmentioned bonus, that was nice :)

Read in a forum that the higher priced version ($1300 or something?) might have the dock & keyboard included. However, this is just speculation.

it doesn't look like a regular keyboard, the numbers are on the top of the board like all laptops. Hope this helps

It is not a complete keyboard. It is a replacement part of the laptop and there is no way to convert it to a stand-alone keyboard according to our local electronic guy. I wish they had advitised it more clearly on the amazon website!BTY, after reading other answers, I guess I interpreted the word "complete" as stand-alone. Otherwise, it does have all the keys of the laptop models specified in the product description.

I was wondering the same thing. This looks to be a very good keyboard. I may buy it. If I do, I'll be sure to post a review.

Honestly, it's much like a regular keyboard. The "extra keys" aren't really extra, they are just a condensed/squished version of a keyboard. I don't have it in front of me, but I don't remember seeing anything unfamiliar.

What's going on here? Has anyone been notified that their UL80vt shipped? I sent amazon an email about this asking what is going on as I perordered under the assumption that they have the laptops ready for the 22nd. Now they don't even know when they're getting them??? Maybe I should cancel and order through another online store eh amazon?

Yeah, I see that too. Under item description it describes a laptop or something. Amazon messed this one up.

this is something that till the date kills me, why did they not put a backlit keyboard, i dont know.but if it had one, it be the best laptop in my bingo book. Even then, i still love it and wouldn'ttrade it, even though it lacks a backlit keyboard.

Yep, typing on it right now in the dark. It is back lit to the color of your choosing, it can even cycle through colors... but that is distracting. And, yes it looks just like that photo. The only keys that are not back lit are the thumb mod keys below the spacebar.

Presuming it's plugged into a working USB 2.0 port (the keyboard one, not the USB extension -- they're labled) and presuming your computer's bios can detect USB keyboards, it's likely your keyboard is borked. I suggest testing it on another system nearby if you have one, otherwise, time to call Amazon.(This is in response to the reply to my prior comment, not the original question.)
