That’s a much improved keyboard on the Asus, but I gotta say the Acer Aspire One has an even better (more traditional) layout, with a proper oversize right shift key. (I’m a touch typist and bought an Acer over the current Asus models because of the keyboard … and would still do so, even with the improvements shown above.)

N280/GN40 on the 1004DN? Interesting if intel finally is moving away from the GMA 950 in netbooks?

I did use it and while not ideal due to the size, it’s more usable for traditional touch-typists. You nailed it on compromises; mobile tech is ALL about compromises. :)

Hey Kevin, while you were at the ASUS booth, did you get a chance to try out the new right shift key? It seems more accessible, but it’s still a tiny shift key. There will always be compromises.
