That would kinda defeat the purpose of having a battery with a runtime of more than 2 hours, methinks (try taking breaks)… though I agree with you on the netbook thing. My younger brother (who abhors Apple computers simply because I have one and they don't look 'cool' to him) is getting an Asus EeePC. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts having hand problems. Though the ergonomics didn't come to mind initially, I do think I agree with you. You actually have to use force on a laptop keyboard. On a tablet, you'd simply touch it. I'm going to get the Apple bluetooth keyboard and the iPad cover case to go along with it, so that would allow for more comfortable arrangements. Compared to many modern keyboards, the Apple keyboards have a nice space between their keys, allowing for a more natural posture (fingers spread more). On our HP Pavilion desktop, the keyboard is horrible— keys are squished together, raised up from the table (Apple keyboards are nice and flat), and somewhat loose (free to rotate and tilt). If it were mine, I'd get an Apple keyboard for it.
