Netbooks With Full Sized Keyboards

Right after having a keyboard that will light up for you, the next most important thing for many current and prospective netbook owners is to have a full sized keyboard.

Most netbook keyboard are only 92% of full size and for most people that’s too cramped.  There are three specific netbooks to check out if you want some extra space to type on.

a) Samsung N120 – Here’s what jkontherun said about the keyboard:

The device sticks with the relatively standard 10.1-inch display found on many netbooks, but the company says that they keyboard is the same size as a 12.1-inch notebook. Considering that many netbooks offer 93%-95%-sized keyboards, the extra 5%-7% might come in a slightly larger device. I’m thinking the bezel around the screen might be larger than the current Samsung netbooks, but that’s simply a guess.

b) Toshiba NB305 – This is cheating a little bit because all of the NB series of Toshiba netbook has a full sized keyboard but the NB305 is the latest in the line.  In addition to having a full sized keyboard Toshiba also allows you to charge your electronics even when the netbook is in standby mode.

c) Acer D250 – You can find D250 netbook for less than $250 which makes it a great value.  The D250 suffers from a cramped touchpad area which may be a trade off considering the more comfortable keyword.

Is a full sized keyboard a deal breaker for you?  Let me know in the comments.

    Its a pitty that none of the ASUS netbooks have a full-sized keyboard. I really want to get a 1005ha or a 1201N but I also have large hands which means I would really benefit from a bigger keyboard.

    I've heard that the keyboard on the 1201N is pretty roomy. Have you tried
    one out for yourself? You just might like it. I agree that it's a shame
    that they don't but with so many new products coming out maybe they'll
    change things up and that a new feature.
