Asus EEE PC 1201N: 12.1" screen, ION, Atom N330 Dual Core, 2GB RAM, 3Lbs. Unique unit
among a field of <11" netbooks.
11" from outside edge of left most key to outside edge of right most key. This of
course is sans-numeric keypad like all other netbook/notebooks. Caveat is chicklet
style keys if that's an issue.
Highly recommend this unit over any other netbook or notebook though it's pricey @
~$490. Best video in it's price range, great battery life, decent enough CPU, more
than capable of 1080P playback.

Subject: [H] Recommended Laptops/Notebooks and/or Brands
My wife's birthday is coming up in a couple of months and I'd like to
get her a laptop/notebook she can use. 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
