KEY BOARDS

[kenv1950]

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE THESE BLACK KEYBOARDS IN A LONG TIME (LARGE HOLES IN RETINAS )
took ADVANDAGE of a QVC sale and bought one with lighted keys.
I can see it all now. What a difference . Just learning the new computer (its got 10 on it)

That's neat. Who makes the one you bought, and are you totally satisfied with it so far? How does it feel? Does it have a positive feedback when you type...by that I mean does it feel right when you type?

Everything is 100% better and faster (keyboard)

Enjoy the new technology.

I've been very happy with 10 on my laptop for 2 years now. The NVMe drive architecture on it is substantially faster than SATA3.

Another illuminated keyboard option is to use a separate back-lit USB keyboard.

^^^^^^^^^The only thing I know about computers is how much they cost and how much anxiety they give me.
I have no idea what your talking about
I don't like change but I guess I have to.
It will take a while .

I need one of those bad....

Last couple computers I bought I didn't get lighted keys. Big mistake.

I'd like one that goes clackety-clack....

Who remembers the old IBM......

Who remembers the old IBM 10 lb keyboards? They put a LOT of research into getting the tactile response right to reduce repetitive injury, carpal tunnel, etc. I really enjoyed typing on those. Especially in those days when EVERYTHING was typed.

OP,that HP notebook looks great.

I'm a user of Windows 10 Insider Previews but still have Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 8.1 on a separate SSDs in order to use older color management software and measurement devices.

When they were closing out Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablets to clear inventory for a newer model I bought a few and the lighted keyboard accessory.Great tablets except for having only 1 USB port.

I like backlit keyboards and have the feature on an MSI notefook and a home built one piece at a time desktop.

Boy, that will be GREAT when the lights go out.

Oh, wait a minute.

For a while now, the storage drive (aka Hard Drive) has been the speed bottleneck. The drive medium was mechanical and relatively slow.

Then much faster solid state drives (SSD's) appeared. Much faster, but still held back because they operated through a secondary SATA controller designed for mechanical drives.

Then solid state drives (PCIe) were created that could be operated directly from the main computer chip (CPU) without needing a SATA controller. Combined with new drive instructions (NVMe) designed for solid state storage, these PCIe drives are now much less of a speed bottleneck.

These drives are amazingly small, about the size of a stick of Wrigley's gum. Here is one I use:

SAMSUNG 960 PRO M.2 512GB NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V6P512BW - Newegg.com

You don't need a separate keyboard anymore, but for reference, here are several that can be added to any computer:

keyboards, Newegg - Newegg.com

I hope you smoothly setup your new HP, without any anxiety.

It set its self up, All I had to do is put my email and password in and everything set it self up, including the WiFi. I'm not computer savy , it was a breeze (10 Minutes) Didn't have to enter anything ,I just told it what to do . I only use a computer for surfing,forums,shopping. If your talking speed this is 100% faster than my 7 yr. old Toshiba....
