Our suggestion, swap the sound control keys with dedicated camera control keys and retain the slide out keyboard and of course have a slightly larger display (even though its 2....

That way, even if an unauthorized person gets hold of your drive, they would not be able to access its files unless they decrypt the drive with its password....

In most cases, the virus actually pretends to be an anti-virus and forces the user to purchase a full license, by lying that the whole system has been infected and only by paying, you can get rid of infections....
