I received an ASUS 1000HA as a gift. It's incredibly portable, very light and has all the features of a full-sized laptop. This notebook gets five stars, especially now that I was able to fix the only feature that I found bothersome. Touch typists will really appreciate that the keyboard size is only 5% smaller than a regular laptop. However, as mentioned in many other reviews, the right shift key is in an incredibly awkward the position. It's on the far right of the Up key which means your cursor will fly up several rows when you try to capitalize a letter. ASUS customer support told me that while they themselves don't offer a fix for this, they suggested I check out "Sharpkeys", a downloadable program that allows you to change the function of any key on the keyboard by changing the registry file.

I downloaded Sharpkeys from PCWorld's website. When I tried to run the program I got a popup saying that .net Framework was not found and that it needed to be installed before running Sharpkeys. After downloading .net Framework from Microsoft, the Sharpkeys program loaded and less than a minute later the UP key and Right Shift key on my keyboard had swapped positions. Sharpkeys is scary it's so easy. Beware, you might even be tempted to "fix" other keys too.
