As a user of U105 and 70CT, I have to tell you that the plain format of the
keys is the worst..
In U100/105, que keys are plain and this is the problem.. It's more
difficult to find exactly where they are by just touching them.. In 70CT
the keys are deeper in their middle..
70CT mouse has a better placement too. I'm using an external usb mouse
everytime I find one available.. In my opinion, any mouse from notebooks
doesn't offer the agility from a desktop mouse..
And the screen.. U100 screen is incomparable .. Never seen anything like
that..
