The keyboard is pretty decent, and I can type quickly on it, but with my hands in a funny bent position that gets a bit uncomfy after a while (I do have rather dainty fingers, though). The main problem I have in terms of typing is switching between the Eee and a proper keyboard - for a few minutes after a switch, I make loads of adjacent letter typos while my hands and brain readjust.

I reckon there’ll be lots of them going relatively cheap on eBay once the 900 starts shipping - might be worth hanging on and picking up a bargain if you’re not sure?

  • how long do you tend to get out of it between charges?

  • what’s your opinion of the keyboard?
