I usually type around that speed. The chiclet buttons are a bit awkward but I'm already used to it - if you're looking for a laptop for long typing sessions I think you might have an issue with it. But most of the time I have an e

Not really a problem for me, one charge's been lasting fine for a full day of random usage, and just in case there's always a socket nearby. Probably not representative for everybody but for me it's enough. I use it really as

True, although you'll have the same problem if you get used to an ergonomic keyboard (or even more so, get used to dvorak).

by galaktor 13y ago
Ergonomic keyboards are great, but a bit overkill for the Emacs pinky problem. As the article points out somewhere at the bottom, the simplest thing is to deactivate Caps Lock (most annoying and useless key ever) and use it as the Ctrl key.
