I've never quite understood the fashion for laptops - unless you actually
need to carry it around. They are very poor value compared to a desktop -
and by nature have smaller screens and keyboards.

And despite trying a few modern soft touch keyboards, still prefer this
clunky old mid '90s basic one which came with an Acorn, and is now shared
with a PC via a KVM switch. Of course if you actually use all those
special function keys on a Windows one, fine. But I can manage without.

Other thing is the common Logitech ones tend to wear out their lettering
quickly. This one is still as good as new.
