asus fan here
got my coworker to get an asus 900. the keys are considreably smaller and will take some getting used to but i think the 1000 keys are more closer to a standard laptop layout if not the same. my philosophy is if you are getting a netbook for the size get the smallest one.
one more thing, i loaded ubuntu on it and it seemed to have some problems with full screen youtubes which speaks of its processing power
