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.)
