So I'm writing this on my new Mini! It's definitely smaller than the normal laptop... In fact, the keyboard is different in enough little ways to be completely alien. The QWERTY row has shifted to the left a little and the apostrophe key is on the row with the space bar, rather than next to the Enter key. The Shift key I use for most of my... Shifting... Is on the right and is smaller than the letters, so it's taking quite the developed skill to hit that when I need to without scrolling up or hitting Enter or what have you. Other than that?

This thing is astronomically TINY! Size is always different from measurements you make with a tape or ruler. It's so small that you can barely look at it like the full-fledged computer that it actually is. It has just enough space to cram in 3 USB ports, a power port, a card reader, sound jacks and a wired NIC. Inside it has wireless and Bluetooth. I opted for the cheaper Ubuntu version, and made a small upgrade to 8GB drive and 1GB RAM. I think it was worth it, considering that default installation only left 100MB free, and that was all gone once I patched everything. I'm having problems with the thing remembering my LCD brightness settings, and I'm tempted to reformat and put everything back to see if there was a problem there, too.

Okay, enough writing on this. I figure it's okay for quick note taking, but any form of true writing is going to take a while to get used to, what with the apostrophe and the shift key being in weird places.
