Do you have a laptop? Of course the big down side to smaller and smaller computers is that the keyboards get smaller and smaller too, which makes something that was merely tricky to use, downright impossible. Of course, you could pack an external keyboard alongside your lappy, but they aren't exactly small (or robust for that matter) and it would probably treble the size of your luggage and you'd be finding random bits of keyboard in your bag for weeks afterwards.

Usability and ergonomics haven't been sacrificed either. The soft, comfortable keys are easy to use, and its slim design allows an excellent work posture, minimizing wrist flexing. The silent action makes it ideal for use in a library or on a train, or anywhere that noise may be frowned upon. It even has caps lock, number lock and scroll lights, just like a conventional 'hard' keyboard.
