How does the keyboard on the Optimus III type?

Has anyone got one of these and can tell me how it types? I'm interested to get one for when I go to University, I am going to be doing a design course and I am a heavy multi-tasker so need to pack a lot of punch and a big screen hence the 17.3" model. However I also have a limit of £1000 on the laptop hence the Optimus III. Let me know what you think of both my spec and the keyboard.
Thanks

I would go with the intel 520 series for your hard drive,
and maybe a Scorpio blue secondary hard drive

Cpu good choice, would also upgrade warranty to silver £5

Thanks, will take a look at doing that, hopefully it doesn't go up too much the overall cost I'm aiming for is around £900 so I have money left for Windows and accessories :)

The intel 330 SSD is still a good choice.
