Gamefaqs, I don't think they insult each other.. ?

"I agree about screen size, and oddly, to me the design isn't really that appealing - it's like the worst of a laptop with the worst of PDA with the worst of a UMPC."

A bit more explanation please :)

"I haven't handled this specific unit - but all convertable laptops I've held felt flimsy or shakey - every pressure causes it to creak or deform a bit. The nice thing about the slate is that it feel solid."

Is this true? Makes me thinnk again now... But keyboards are more essential though.

"Worse, when you use it in laptop mode - the touchscreen becomes difficult to use."

Its got a thumb pointer and left/ right click buttons.

"Now, with THIS one - you've got a 5.4" screen which means tiny tiny high rez everything (better have good eyes) and a tiny tiny keyboard (better have small fingers)."

Keyboard seems good but your right about the screen. 5.4" is a bit small ( I am short sighted so won't really bug me). As for my fingers , I am about 13.5 years and my fingers probably can do well. Screen should have been 7 inch but that would make the battery life alot less :(.

"Nah - I'm happy with the Q1U. I'm quickly learning not to even need the thumbboard."

Your opinoin

Is touch typing the same as memory typing (typing by remembering keys )?
