Have you installed Alfred[1]? (or Quicksilver[2]).
I find I use these (Alfred now, formerly Quicksilver) to open the right finder window first time, eliminating the need for most uses of the controls on the windows.
(also, once you install one of these you'll never need to open the /Applications directory again.)

Arrow-keys to move around, cmd+o to open and cmd+shift+g to go to a specific directory - what else do you need?

I always suffer problems when trying to move from the left-hand pane (e.g. where drives, bookmarked locations are) to the main pane.

Most items on the Finder Sidebar have their own keyboard shortcuts and are available from the Go menu. Here’s an overview: http://imgur.com/Ho0lfrt
Here are some other solutions: http://superuser.com/questions/90378/
Of course, some of those notebook owners will also use a mouse. And I'm speaking as a Mac Mini user with an Apple branded mouse, but I guess your original point probably stands.
I wish I didn't have such a reliance on the mouse, but since transitioning from PC to Mac, one of the few persistent problems has been keyboard shortcut support. I can't tell if I've failed to learn sufficiently, or if it's just lacking, but certain applications - e.g. Finder - just seem to be impossible to navigate without a pointing device.
