Can't see anything in the BIOS, but I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting? Do you want the left and right arrow keys to always function as HOME/END unless you're pressing Fn?

I assume HOME/END only function if you're holding Fn at the same time? If so, I was wondering if there was a setting somewhere that allows the HOME/END to be used without pressing Fn.

I've had several laptops with the same key layout and have never seen a setting to do that. There's normally one so the function keys take precedence over the brightness, etc. controls but nothing that affects the direction keys.

That's what I feared!

I've got mine too but with UPS. It's still in Shanghai so I don't expect it until next week but at least it's on its way.

I took delivery of the girlfriends laptop today. What an amazing little machine for the price. I just went for the lowest CPU for what she was using it for but I'm surprised how quick it is.

Mine was due today, but is currently in Korea, so will be delayed by a few days I guess.

You can get a 10% discount code for signing up to the Lenovo newsletter (took me about 24 hours to get a code emailed). Quidco is another 5% cashback. Lenovo often have sales. I've also heard you can ask for discounts on their live chat too but not tried yet.
