Small.
Very small. And too small to be any real use.
I came to the same conclusion after extended test drive of a Libretto. The display is bright, but the DPI is way too high that makes letters too small. The keys are too small and close together that it is likely to striking 2 or 3 keys. Also, the AccuPoint/TrackPoint nub is below the keyboard instead of between the GHB keys.
In this weight class, I would opt for a Panasonic R4 over Libretto. Larger 10.4" display. Close to normal key pitch. Longer battery life. All this at the same weight just shy of 1 kg/2.2 lb.
