I have the x100e which uses the same keyboard.

These things are always a matter of taste but I can say this: The
chiclet keys are *nothing* like the traditional TP keyboards. That said,
it's an excellent keyboard, and does not even compare to most things
I've used on other subnote/netbooks.

Well I found the X100e chassis to be rather nice layout-wise. The
internals of that model left a lot be desired though but engadget for
exampled sing high praises on the x120e expecially in comparison to its
predecessor.

HTH,
