- I've got the CompuAdd Express 325 NXL notebook, and the keyboard is very
- good. The keys are full-sized, it's got an inverted T cursor control,
- separate PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Insert and Delete keys (unlike some, which
- have them only with Alt keys or something like that). The built-in track-
- ball is very good.
-
- About the only thing to not like is that they key travel is not quite as
- far as a detached keyboard, but I have found this to be true for just about
- every notebook out there.
