I saw this Black Friday deal... It's $700 online, then use this rebate: http://forms.young-america.com/56797_OD ... 162006.pdf

I was in Office Depot yesterday waiting on someone and took the opportunity to tinker with one of these. (One of my cousins had bought one for his son and asked me, after the fact, what I thought of it. Answer: Dunno - never laid eyes on one.)

Based on the short time I spent with it, it seemed to be a fine system as far as performance, look and feel went until I really looked at the keyboard.

I'm not sure who was responsible for the layout of the keys, but... There's a place for the Ins/Del;Home/End;PgUp/PgDn keys, and it isn't scattered all over the keyboard. And in my case, I use the Home and End keys far too often to be accessed via the Function key.

Isn't that kind of like saying that Capital letters are used too often to be accessed via Shift?

Yeah, yeah... I know, picky, picky, picky, but...

Not really - there's no way to fit a whole set of capital letters on a keyboard, but on something as big as the N100, there's more than enough room for Home/End to be primary keys.
