    Do any of the Inspiron Line have Full-Sized Keyboards?

    Both have full sized keyboard. My 6000, the e1505 is just a newer model of that... is very comfy to type on.

    I think he's talking about a real full size keyboard, like with the 10 key off to the right hand side and all.

    When I was looking at all the new laptops out there I think it was the HP's that were the only ones I seen that had a true full size keyboard, complete with the 10 key like your desktop keyboard has.

    No, not even on the XPS or E1705 series, though there's sufficient space for sure.

    Sorry I should have been specific, I didn't mean the 10 key numpad, just the actual keys themselves.

    All of dells inspiron line have Full-size keyboards or very close to full size and easy to type on. The one exception to this is the 710m.

    the only notebooks that have a smaller-than-100% keyboard are some 12" models and smaller (10.6" etc.). anything larger than 12" notebook will have a fullsized keyboard.
