I have added a closeup pic above.<BR/><BR/>I'm a touch typist and the right shift key is actually completely fine. I am typing this on my Wind keyboard right now. I would really struggle to accidentally hit the up arrow key instead of right shift when typing and my hands are probably above average size (I'm a 6'0" guy). <BR/><BR/>You are right, the machine isn't thinner, I meant to say sleeker - tying in with the Samsung NC10-ish design. It is still plastic but this keeps the cost down. That's why HP moved from aluminium to plastic for the Mini 1000. Apparently this gave them HUGE cost savings in manufacturing, which is why the Mini 1000 is so much more affordable than its predecessor. <BR/><BR/>It does have 802.11n as mentioned above and in the laptop mag inspection.<BR/><BR/>However, I do join you in the not impressed department, however MSI aren't pushing this as a 'Wind 2', think of it as just a U100 variant, similar to the U90 or the scores of Eee variants.Electric Feelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11896186049857034157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360751089699051341.post-19712550790107558922008-11-21T13:19:00.000+11:002008-11-21T13:19:00.000+11:00Not impressed.<BR/><BR/>A 2nd gen unit without a full-sized right shift key. Non starter.<BR/><BR/>The USB ports are ALL at the front of the unit. Sorry, but that is stupid.<BR/><BR/>No thinner. Still plastic. No 802.11n. <BR/><BR/>Sorry, but this space is getting more competitive. Maybe they haven't figured that out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
