I first want to make sure you're aware that the dial on the right side of the machine adjusts the LCD viewing angle, and it has a pretty generous range of adjustment. I do a lot of typing on my 102 and I would not characterize it as painful. While the keyboard isn't quite as good as some of the high end keyboards I have around the house (I have a collection of Model Ms that see daily use and I have a couple of Matias ALPS-alikes for the Macs when they are docked) the 102 keyboard is the best laptop keyboard I have ever used. I consider it a joy to type on, and the screen adequate if slow for programming and writing tasks. I am constantly looking for excuses to do something on the 102 rather than a bigger computer.
