Mr. Case presents a finally-tuned article, and represents the Vizio rather well. However, he obviously did not spend a lot of time using the keyboard. Had he done so, he would surely have uncovered what is an apparent design flaw: when pressing a single letter, s, t, d, etc., the keyboard will often give you ss, tt, ddd - or worse. I have tried unsucccesssfullly to get resolution from Vizio. (note: the computer spelled its own veersion of the word "unsucccessfully." Note the double letters - which I did NOT add.
A ddesign flaw? I can't get an answer from Vizio, but getting my money back would be a good start.

I am curious whether an external keyboard causes the same problem. Have you tried one?

If an external keyboard has the same problem, it may just be the Windows keyboard settings. You can adjust repeat rate and delay before a key repeats.

"Perhaps the one absent feature that people might really miss, though, is a flash card reader."

Seriously? They wouldn't miss an optical drive?

If it were a Windows problem, it would affect all keys equally - not just a random selection. Typing style would have an effect, of course, but it would still be very widespread across many keys.

Worth a try though.

Mr. Case asks, 'what more could you ask of a laptop?" Plenty, he doesn/t seem to be aware of what a powerful laptop requires. For beginners, a better than mediocore screen. From there, one might begin to build a great laptop.
I fear Mr.Case is speaking as a salesman and not a reviewer.
