I thought that might be the case. I can take a picture of mine if you're
keeping a collection of bad laptop keyboards. :D
Seriously, I have a 17.1" display, and the keyboard is almost small

available.
Also, the left shift and left control keys don't want to work most of
the time, but that's another issue.
