Turning to your point about not being able to enter notes in Speedy entry, a MIDI controller (it need not necessarily be a keyboard, thought this may be most convenient), while useful in simple entry in 2k7, is _required_ to be able to access most of the features of speedy entry and hyperscribe, including the entry of notes and chords.
Unless this is something specific to FinWin it is simply not true. Although Speedy entry without a MIDI device is not exactly very efficient, it is certainly possible to enter notes and chords. If only rests appear then the MIDI input has to be switched off in the Speedy menu, ie "Use MIDI device for input" has to be unchecked in the Speedy menu. Make sure capslock is off.
However, if you intend on entering music permanently without a MIDI device Simple may well turn out to be more efficient. You should select the laptop keyboard layout in the simple menu "Simple Entry Options"-> "Edit Keyboard shortcuts".
On the long run, if you want to enter music "speedily", consider buying a MIDI or USB keyboard, it will make your life much easier. As Noel suggested, I would also buy a separate number keypad.
