    I haven't noticed a problem, but my main beef with regular laptops is that as I'm typing, my palms are resting on the trackpad, making the cursor jump all over the place in my document. This machine is thin and, when my palms are down and resting on something, it's the table on which the netbook sits, not the machine itself. Because of the thinness, the curve of my wrist seems to be less pronounced. Having said all that - almost all of my long-form typing happens at my desktop - other than session notes, I never spend a lot of time typing stuff up on the netbook...
