    I hope they've improved the keyboard. As a part of the FIRST Robotics Competition driver station, they included the Classmate PC as both a development machine and a control station. I felt bad for the poor guy who had to code on it. The keys were barely large enough for your pinky.

    It has a larger screen, so that probably translates to a larger keyboard, although it will still be small for its size since the large bezels are required for durability.
