Get ready to squint hard! (and I thought their last U50/U70 series had absurdly small screens with too-high resolutions!) Chicklet keys are back again, but one wonders how bad they are to type on (the prior U series with tiny keyboards were no good). And one wonders why? They could have easily dropped in a more usable keyboard by simply installing a wide-screen, like a 7" or larger LCD panel (GPS on a 4" screen will hurt!). They could have kept the same weight - we know that from their prior Vaio X505 series, which had a larger screen and keyboard. And they could have integrated a built-in GPS unit (why use an external one at all?!?) for the $2000 it'll cost. Or simply made it super-thin like the X505 series. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
