Yeah, that's 16:9 for you. Introduced purely to cut costs - hence why I dislike them.
Bummer about the RAM. And Windows 8 for that matter
;-) . I can post you a stick of 4GB DDR3 RAM if you like for the price of a stamp/envelope. PM me if you're interested.
The chicklet keyboards (also known as scrabble-tile) are the ones where each key is flat and clearly separated from the next one by a plastic/metal gap between them. They were introduced due to looking more "modern" and "stylish". They're not necessarily bad and certainly do look better, but I do personally prefer typing on the classic one myself.
