[ubuntu-za] What laptop to buy?

[Wesley Werner]

The MSI U100 is great hardware wise! As someone who uses the terminal (and
mouseless browsing) a lot, I must admit the buttons can get a little close
to each other at times. Watch out for that.

Looking at photos of the Thinkpad online,* *I imagine this problem is doubly
so, as the arrow keys are tightly cornered by your pg-up, pg-dn, and shift
keys. Also the Fn (function shift) key is bottom-left (same as my MSI U100),
this makes hitting the Ctrl key awkward some times.

I played with my old man's new LG X140 recently, I am in love with that
keyboard layout, the keys are spaced well, and the Ctrl key is bottom-left
too :) It was running Windows 7 however, but it apparently rocks at it (

might get some other ideas there
