[ubuntu] Netbook advice (KEYBOARD SIZE)

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have an ideapad s10-2. I love it but my only complaint is the size of the keyboard. I believe it is 85% the standard size. I sense that is a common complaint for netbookers. Can anyone recommend a netbook that has a decently sized keyboard? The larger the better. And if you own it - how do you like it? Thanks!

I want a Keyboard Case! 23 weeks 1 day ago

I have been longtime serial user of the Motoorola Droid keyboard slider models, and just switched over to Note 2. I love the size, since I also use it as a reading device, which is why I got it. :D But I miss the physical keyboard, since I also use it to write a lot, and find the virtual keyboard, even in landscapre problematic. :'(

Searching found a couple of Note 1 keyboard cases.

Hi there,

Installed Netbook Remix on my little N110, really love this Netbook, so much so it has caused my laptop to gather quite a rightness bit of dust lately.

Everything running very smoothly on my system, sorted out the brightness issue with Ubuntu Tweak, will get the Fn + Brightness working at some point too, but for now everything is going well.

Logitech’s UltraThin iPad keyboard has been a favored traveling companion of mine since it came out on top of Matt’s keyboard case review battle, but the iPad mini has since supplanted my full-size iPad 3 whenever I hit the road.

Recommend a laptop? 2 years 15 weeks ago

Hi all,I think I need a new laptop. It would run Crunchbang as its main OS, so needn't be incredibly powerful or expensive. My three criteria are:1. Runs linux well!2. Lightweight - I need to carry it around a lot3. Good battery lifeI'd prefer something full-size to a netbook, however. I do a lot of writing, so want a full-size keyboard.

Hey, First of all im a complete noob to ubuntu and linux. I decided to install ubuntu (1.91 netbook remix) on my netbook (Acer Aspire One) via USB. I've just finished installing and have absolutely no input from my keyboard when getting into X windows :(

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've just installed Lubuntu 12.10 onto an old netbook, an Acer Aspire One. It's a standard UK keyboard (no window key, but a 'home' key instead and an fn key) so 2 also has " for shift and ' gives me @ with shift.

I had a problem with this netbook previously where the keyboard keys randomly changed. It was sent to some repair shop years ago and they couldn't fix it.

anyone here using an external keyboard on their Optimus V?

i was given a mini bluetooth keyboard (about the same size as the phone but it has real buttons) and I can't get it to pair up. might be because I don't have the bluetooth pin #.

If you miss the full size and action of a real keyboard, get one! Just plug it into your laptop, either into the port or a USB port, whichever is available. You can start using the keyboard the sec... [by SusanWang]
