Is it only me or are the half-size arrow keys a really big problem? I use the arrows to get around a lot, in basically everything but vi, making them half the size has always annoyed me (at least on whatever Chromebook I've used).

Dell's Vostro V131 has my favorite keyboard I've ever used on a laptop, it's been perfect for me since whenever I got it. http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/1486/dell-vostro-v131-...

I prefer the x230's keyboard [1], which extends the arrows downward into the unused palm rest area. I've used a similar keyboard as the vostro, and I found myself frequently fatfingering home instead of pageup and end instead of pagedown.
