How useable is the new Flybook's keyboard (in comparison with the Fujitsu Lifebook P1510)? My hands are quite big (although I did used to enjoy the LG Phenom Express) and I do not want to buy a notebook which I won't be able to use for extensive data input. Owen Thomas
The Flybook keyboard isn't bad, but the keys are very small -- too small for me! I haven't seen a Lifebook P1510 but from what I remember of the Phenom Express, I'd prefer that to the Flybook for data entry.
Unfortunately, the keyboards on small notebooks are getting really poor, especially as they get thinner. "Key travel" is increasingly a thing of the past....
The best small one I've used is the obsolete IBM ThinkPad 240X, which I carried around for years running Windows 2000 and Office 2000. Shyamtronics knocked out the leftovers on the Tottenham Court Road, and they are available cheap on eBay.co.uk. However, the limited RAM can be a problem if you need to run new software. Also, there's no built-in Wi-Fi, but mine worked fine with a Cicso card in the PCMCIA (PC Card) slot.
