It&#8217;s not the smallest of keyboards, nor the biggest, but it does fit my fingers perfectly. <\/p>\n<p>The screen is fine most of the time. It is slightly too small for a few web apps and programs. A few times I&#8217;ve gone to a page or used a program which could not cope with the vertical resolution of such a screen. As a result I do need to think about which applications and websites I visit. <\/p>\n<p>I also tested seesmic for windows on this machine and that worked well. No crashes, no slowing down the system. I had it running for over 24hrs in between sleep modes and such without the hint of a problem. <\/p>\n<p>So far I like the small laptop. It hasn&#8217;t fallen into a corner like the 900. This one has actually been used. We&#8217;ll see when I feel the need for a larger machine once more. For now though this is fine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>I like smaller and smaller machines.
