Hi,
2008/9/13 Chris G cl@isbd.net:
However she needs to be able to touch type on it, does anyone here have an EEE PC? Is the keyboard OK? Is the 'bigger' EEE PC keyboard better? Any other suggestions?
I was using the 701 model at work for a bit. I found it quite hard to use the keybaord at first. The right shift is to the right of the up arrow key, which threw me off many times. The ` key to the left of the 1 is not there, so I found myself hitting 2 instead of 1 a number of times. Also the keys are quite small, and the pipe key requires the shift and Fn key to be pressed. ISTR having to press shift + Fn + up/down arrow to page up and down a terminal window.
I don't touch type, but i think anyone who's been touch typing on a normal PC might struggle with the 701 model. I'm not sure if the 900/901 models are any better.
