I feel your pain, I bought an Asus 701, and the keyboard is annoying for touch typists, especially if you use another kb regularly. I got used to it, but the screen real-estate, I never got used to.
Acer aspire 1, and Asus 1000 series are 92% size keyboards. They are not tiny like the EEE 700 & 900 series... also, if you can wait a few weeks, Dell Mini 10 is coming (already shown at trade shows, due RSN.)
