I find that the terribly tiny keys on a laptop keyboard make them very evil. I don't see how anyone could type fast on one of them without making tons of errors. I constantly have to fix typos (the 'o' key is the worst) when writing with this thing, and I'm not typing fast at all. I suppose if you have really small hands, the compact layout might be more comfortable, but I hate my keyboard. Then again, maybe I just have a tiny keyboard; you might have one that actually fills the space on the bottom.
