Manufacturer: ASUS
Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, but some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises make the S101 harder to use than it should be.

this is an amazing machine.
but the shift key is unforgiveable.
u had previously been using a sony TR series which has a similar size screen/keyboard - they managed to give a full size shift key and just narrowed the up/down keys... it was pefect, just like using a full keyboard..
The good: everything - its great, screen/price/keyboard (less shift key). battery... it is all good - but whoever formed the keyboard should be sacked.
The bad: the shift key... this is soo bad, that i would gladly pay in excess of $200 for a replacement keyboard... (which i am seriously trying to see if i can do)... thats alot considering the entire machine only cost $1000
