yes, the 380 is 11 inches long, many the keys are around, but when I read closer to the size of a netbook I thought no way. Too cramped. No space between the keys, if that be if the guys description was accurate. Anyway I'll see how this new 480 is and I can always order a 380 if I think it's overkill for my purposes. Or order the 380 and see which I prefer.All the other specs on these all the other specs on these keyboards are excellent. So that's a definite plus. Free returns… thanks all. deidre
