  • Summary: do not buy this
  • Comment: I bought this notebook computer for my writing. Within 45 days the screen had cracked with out any trauma. I had not purchased the warranty so I was screwed. Thus, this computer is not very durable at all. In addition, when I contacted the vendor, they denied that I had even bought it from them.

  • Summary: Excellent Product
  • Comment: I am so impressed with my netbook so far. It's lightweight and portable. I love the battery life. I can have it unattached for hours and still have plenty of battery left. My old laptop used to die in just 2 hours, but I can easily get 8 to 10 hours on this depending on the programs that I am using. Also, the keyboard feels almost normal size, so it wasn't hard to adapt to it. Although, some of the key placement is different (Delete button for instance) so I am still working on that. I read lots of review on other netbooks and believe I made the right purchase.

  • Summary: Does everything I need
  • Comment: I bought this on the recommendation of a friend. I needed something small because I'm on the go a lot. I have a Clearwire travel modem so I do a lot of work on the road. But I didn't want a big laptop. I needed something that I could slip into my bag and yet when I turned it on, it could do all that I needed it to do (i.e., run my Office programs, browse the Internet, and do email, etc).

    This little netbook does everything I need and more. I did have to put it the 2gb memory that was recommended, Crucial 2GB 256Mx64PC2-5300 CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory, but it was worth it so I didn't mind the extra cost.

    If a person needs to run graphic intensive programs, this netbook would be pushed to its limits and probably would fit the need of that person. But for someone like me, who really just needs the basic programs to work and doesn't need a huge screen or high resolution, it works perfect.

  • Summary: Know What You're Buying!
  • Comment: I've had this netbook for several months now and LOVE it!

    It seems strange to me that folks would complain about things like Windows 7 starter. It clearly states that this is what is on the netbook, so don't purchase it if you want Windows 7 premium! My experience is that starter works fine and is probably perfect for this processor and memory configuration, of course you can't change the wallpaper (who cares?). Look, this is not a laptop, it's a NETBOOK! For web surfing, e-mail and documents, it works fantastic. I even watch YouTube videos and convert DVD files to MP4's and watch them with no problems. All this with only the 1GB of RAM that originally came in the machine. If you want speed, then buy a laptop with a faster processor and more memory. For portability and battery life, this thing rocks!
