[QUOTE="mgkaplan, post: 1841081, member: 403836"] I decided to pass on the 15.4". Although these computers appear to be similar, I learned first that the graphics are much better on the 16" (I do a significant amount of photo and video editing). Next my research revealed that in addition to the keyboard issue, that the 6 core i9 processor in the 15.4 had overheating and throttling issues. Notwithstanding a software fix, my sense is that the laws of physics dictate that there will always be a potential problem. My conclusion is that notwithstanding the $1,000 price difference, the 16" will serve my needs much better (It is a major upgrade) now and in the future. I thank each of you for your very valuable input. [/QUOTE]
