The R500 has a streamlined design--no extra buttons, but a reasonably large keyboard (albeit one whose somewhat flat keys might impede some touch typists). Like the Fujitsu P8010, the R500's touchpad has a fingerprint reader--a security safeguard that the MacBook Air lacks; and status lights are integrated into a display beneath the touchpad. The mono speaker is above the keyboard, up near the display.
