Sometimes I see products with horrible reviews on newegg, and you read through it and realize people who review it just had no idea what they were buying. (See: cf to ide adapter reviews)

Netbooks are out for a simple reason--the keyboard is too small. Recently my wife bought a new keyboard (through Amazon Marketplace) but she didn't like it as the keyboard was too narrow. I've looked into this a little and the keyboard she didn't like had a measurment of 10.5" from the outside of the tab key to the end of the return key. The one she like was 11.25". Soooo, I took a tape measure and went to Best Buy & Staples and started measuring. Netbooks usually run from 9.5 to 9.75". Keyboards these days have shrunk. They range from 10.5 to 11.0 inches. Surprisingly enough, some of the cheapest and smallest keyboards/laptops have the biggest keyboards. Anyways, I'm looking for recommendations. I take all customer reviews with a grain of salt (one guy on Newegg gave an Asus laptop one star because they didn't include a reinstall disk). Of course, price is a major consideration. And of course, a wide keyboard, LOL. Thanks....Steve
