The only outstanding issue I have with mine is that the video acceleration falls way, way short of expectations on video playback. Other than that, it's great. Another thing you may be interested in is that you can actually fit a 1280x720 screen into it (it comes with 1024x600 as standard). I have a replacement screen on my shelf to do this at some point, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. My main disappointment is that this isn't available as an option when buying one, which inevitably means you end up with a spare 1024x600 screen that you will never use again. > - How is the keyboard, are the keys (much) smaller than a standard > laptop keyboard?

It is on the par with any other similar netbook, the same screen is used in a lot of them. But as I said, my recommendation would be to upgrade it with a 1280x720 panel.
