Typing fingers strike the edge of the space bar in the millimetres where it ends above the plastic casing of the keyboard. In the LA38G that distance doesn’t exist so you frequently miss the space bar, and the solution is to type much slower and be conscious of hitting it deliberately.

Don’t be fooled that this will only suit the nephews and nieces of the family, however. Size wise, it’s no bigger than most smartphones of the last few years such as the O2 Xda, so it’s more than comfortable to use as a phone.

The answer isn’t to pack as much RAM as possible into the chassis like we can in desktop models, but make it work smarter with the limited power it can draw from today’s battery technology.
