I do the normal dimming and such so it's with power management turned
on. SSD's gobble up power.

Par for course

The normal one. Don't know.

That could very much be the case!

Don't know. If it's a 901 I suspect it's the same keyboard.  If you
have fat fingers or already know how to touch type then you'll hate it
but if you can't type and have normal fingers it won't be too bad.   I
had to learn how to hunt and peck so I could use it.
