Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Pros:
-Keyboard is easy to type on. Much better than the previous model.
-Screen at full brightness is one of the brightest I've ever seen.
-Outrageous battery life.
-Well balanced netbook (will not tip over in your lap)- 6 cell battery model.
-Windows XP Home - easy to use and compatible with all my apps.
-Connectivity is superb (USB, SD card reader, Bluetooth, etc...)
-Speakers are very good - listened to some music on youtube and it sounded nice.
-Atom N450 shows up as "dual core" processor in task manager. I've noticed that its is much faster than N200 series atom processors.
-Microsoft Works: You get the full suite with the laptop. You can still get Office 2003 or download Open Office but its nice to know you can start working on this laptop without adding any software.
Cons:
-Some flex on the keyboard on the upper left corner moving towards the center. Not a big con and you will only notice it if you are "hammering" down on the keys.
-It will get hot on the bottom and you will hear the fan turn on and off after a short period of use.
-Fingerprint MAGNET.
-Multi - Touchpad is a good idea in concept but when I tried web browsing the mouse was "finnicky" and "jittery".
-Directional keys are very small, as in tiny - almost defeat the purpose of having them. You will get use to them but it will take time.
Recommendations:
Case Logic netbook sleeve
2gb memory upgrade
Logitech wireless nano mouse
Software (free):
Open office
7z
Winamp
Mozilla Firefox
Overall one of the best netbooks on the market today.
