    Why is the Delete key so small?

    I bought a FZ240 a couple of weeks ago and it irritates me that the Delete key is so freaking small, up on top with the skinny function keys. I use it a lot while typing and I expect most people do as well.

    I've Vaio FZ as well as HP pavilion, and both of them have about the same size "Delete" key, it may be small, but it doen't seem to be a problem. Is this your first laptop or have you used a big laptop before, like 17" or bigger

    Not that big of a deal, getting used to it. Just that I'd prefer a bigger key because I tend to use it so much.

    Quit hitting the delete key and hit the backspace key instead. If the backspace key is too small, I'd have to agree with Henry(man)?.
