Gateway LT3103u Netbook, AMD Athlon Single-Core Processor1.2GHz, 2048MB, 250GB, 11.6" HD WXGA, Web Camera, Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic, Factory Refurbished Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Gateway's LT3103u isn't available in stores anymore: the model has been updated since the Windows 7 Launch which gets rid of the Vista Albatross. (Personally, I liked Vista, but I can't argue with Windows 7's slightly better response times.)
The hardware is sound for it's purpose: it's a subnetbook technically from the specs... It has a 11.6 LED screen, 250 GB Hard Disk, 2 GB of memory and a 64-bit Athlon processor that's "off the roadmap" (It's a single core Sempron L110 more or less.) Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player run well in tandem, although on occasion there's a skip from the Hard Disk seek when it loads the next song if Internet Explorer is occupied with Flash or something. This can handle a good number of windows if you have simple multitasking demands.
If you want to encode video, transfer large bits of data, or play games actively (meaning DirectX titles, not 2d stuff like Solitare and the like) then you'd do better with another machine, but it's foolish to buy a subnote/netbook for those things in the first place. This is for Living Room browsing, taking to work for meal breaks, or recreational use and low demand gaming (my other netbooks play fairly well with Warcraft III, this joins the ranks well).
Two picadillos I do have:
1) Build quality is well made, but there's some "Soft" points in the chassis that creaks when pressure is applied. The keyboard is generously sized, nice for bigger hands like mine (being 6' tall and on a budget sucks when you need an affordable computer... Most netbooks have unusable keyboards as far as I'm concerned) but I would be remiss if I didn't admit that the certain keys like the space bar and the right side toggle keys I don't use have noisy spring mechanisms (we're not talking decibels here, but there is an audible squeak if I press it on the right side. It comes and goes.
2) The battery. Again, there's multiple points on this one... First of all, it's six cell, but weak. Battery life is approx over two hours unplugged on the Balanced power plan. The Power Saver plan is useless; your machine will be too crippled to even run Word. High Performance, you get about 90 minutes before the machine blacks out. For a netbook, this is unacceptable: most Atoms get about 4-5 hours at LEAST. Furthermore, good luck finding the battery. No one sells a spare one, I've tried. Gateway keeps escalating my inquiry into purchasing one, and not calling me back.
Then again their customer service sucks, I knew that going into the purchase... that's not really a "con". They charge $20 for the recovery DVD's that the machine can't use without an external burner anyway, and their EULA states that changing your OS voids your warranty. Most manufacturers offer limited support for netbooks anyway, there's so little margin on them that if you have a problem, the only recourse is a replacement machine (within 90 days), or just eat the cost and get another netbook, or pony up for a better laptop next time. Netbooks are the Honda Civics of computers.
But overall, I am very happy with this machine. :D

HP 2140 Mini-Note - Atom N270 / 1.6 GHz - RAM 2 GB - HDD 160 GB - GMA 950 - Gigabit Ethernet - WLAN : Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, 802.11 a/b/g/n (draft) - Vista Home Basic - 10.1" Widescreen TFT - camera - Smart Buy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)From netbooks I owned HTC Shift, Asus eee 1000HA and Asus eee 1002HA. I tried out my friends Acer Aspire 1, HP mini 2133 too. So I know how to compare and from my point of view this is excellent laptop. Yes, I call it laptop. Sony calls it's P-series a laptop too, but I think sony p-series is a toy, and cannot replace my laptop, while hp mini 2140 surely can.
Technically it's like most other netbooks on the market: intel atom n270 1.6 Ghz 533mhz FSB, 1-2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, GMA 950 graphics, Wi-Fi b/g/n(draft), BT 2.0+EDR, 10/100/1000 ethernet. It has some strange resolution, non-standart 1024x576 instead of 1024x600. But I didn't notice much difference because of those 24 pixels. Perhaps it was the only way to keep it inside the same chassis as hp mini 2133. Screen is glossy, it could be also good and bad thing about this model. They made very minor changes from old chassis. One is less noticeable but yet important change is side vent design. Side vent holes were placed vertically in old 2133 and as a result, when you place it on soft surface they can be covered from bottom. In 2140 they placed them horizontally, and it increases the side vent clearance from the floor and it has more space at the bottom and less chances to be covered when placed on soft surface. You better check pictures.
Vista runs fine on it.
I've been searching a lot, read many reviews and ended up with a few models to choose from before buying 2140:
Sony P series
Kohjinsha SX
Asus eee 1000HE
HP mini 2140
Sony was out because of it's style. It's more suitable who those who don't care much about productivity but rather for style and look. Yes it looks perfect, it's glamor but I don't think I'd be able to accomplish my daily tasks on it.
Kohjinsha SX is still my favorite one, but it's price is very high. HP wins with it's price here.
Asus eee 1000HE has new cpu intel atom n280, the only netbook for the moment that can afford it. Unfortunately they placed it all in almost the same chassis as in 1000HA, which looks cheap. All plastic. Because of the same reason I skipped over samsung nc 10 and acer aspire 1.
In 2140 improved screen size with the same chassis as it's predecessor 2133. They moved speakers to the bottom of the screen and made screen bigger, while keeping the chassis same size.
I was a bit confused why they didn't put n280 in it. Perhaps it takes too long in huge companies like HP to do some design changes and implement latest technologies in their products.
I had some doubts about this model. It's predecessor 2133 was very poor in means of heat and power consumption and noise. It was awful. I was afraid that this model will repeat those mistakes. But it uses intel atom n270 instead of VIA in 2133 which has less power consumption. So i decided to give it a try.
After buying this thing I found out that:
BAD THINGS FIRST:
1) It cannot be easily upgraded. In order to charge it with SSD I would probably have to disassemble it. eee solves it much easier. (Update: recently, when upgrading it to SSD I found out that it's not that easy, you just got to be careful when pulling keyboard in order to reach disk drive).
2) Battery is not as long as eee or samsung nc. Extra 6 cell battery looks ugly and makes 2140 non-transportable
3) Screen is a bit too high brightness. You need to adjust brightness from control panel to make it normal. It's fixable.
4) Weight is not very well balanced. Back side is heavier than front
5) Charger is big enough, bigger than eee's charger. It's a brick like in normal laptop.
6) Doesn't include any accessories but charger, CDs and manual. At least one cheap case would be fine, before I buy normal case. All eee have slim case in box.
GOOD THINGS
1) it has the best keyboard in the world. I'm so surprised with it's superior quality and comfort that I think it's even more comfortable for me to type on HP mini 2140 than on desktop keyboard or any other laptop/umpc/netbook keyboards (I tried a lot).
2) excellent design. comparable to sony viao, maybe better but not worse than that. It doesn't look like budget netbook. HP looks like >1000$ model for much less price.
3) It's fully functional laptop. It has normal resolution (1024x576) for 10'' screen. I do not understand how one can put 1280x768 on 8'' screen like sony did. You can't see anything but videos on sony p-series screen.
4) It has express card 54 slot, which many comparable netbooks doesn't have. I will place 3G card in it. I don't like 3G card pulling out of USB port, prefer it to be mostly hidden in express slot.
5) It still weights only ~1.2kg. SSD version maybe even lighter
4) this model is much cooler, quiter and battery lasts longer than on hp mini 2133. With web browsing, wi-fi on you can get up-to 3.5 hours. More intensive applications - 2.5-3 hours. I tried it with the following applications running: SQL developer, Netbeans IDE, Outlook, google chrome with 3-4 tabs open while windows update installing updates in the background and heavy network and HDD IO and it lasted about 2 hours. I think it's OK. Not as much as eee but OK.
5) I read in reviews that some people were complaining about touchpad, and that buttons are not comfortably placed. I didn't notice that. I think they did a good compromise by placing buttons on the left and right sides of the touchpad, while keeping touchpad itself big enough. Buttons are comfortable for me.
6) It's built up very good. Feels like hp mini 2140 is one solid peace of metal and plastic.
6) Ergonomics. Everything seems to be there where you expected it to be. Every inch is used very effectively, no wasted space here, as a result dimension are very good, looks much smaller than eee pc 1000 series.
7) hp drive guide 3d technology, maybe not important for most of the people, but it's good one. Parks HDD headers when it senses movement or falling. Can save data one day, or maybe not :) It depends.
8) Finally!!! HP engineers managed to optimize OS and not overload it with HP software and removed loads of icons from tray and startup programs that used to be in all OS's preinstalled by HP and other vendors. They did a good job this time, and I spent less time optimizing and updating OS.
Being honest I would give this laptop 4.5, since I didn't have such a chance I choosed to give it 5 instead of 4.
***********************************
EDIT: 27 Sep 2009
After half year of use I can say that this netbook is very durable. Yesterday, The child hardly pressed on the lid and on the keyboard while netbook was open and left unattended. As a result lid opened up on 180 degrees though normally lid does not open more than 130 degrees (it's mechanically blocked). There was a crack noise and lid did not close after that. I thought that plastic top was broken but actually only metal frame was damaged. I closed the lid, pressed it hard several times, so that metal frame becomes to it's original state and it is fine now. Lid opens and closes normally, as it was before. Plastic frame did not crack, and lid movement is still solid. No visible evidence of recent operation.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am georgia Tech student and purchased this tablet for the college work and I love this tablet. I am using this tablet to note down (or even record) all the lectures using microsoft one note software. The combination of tablet capabilities and one note software is awesome.
About the pc : The tablet body is durable and can withstand the rough use. The screen resolution is 1024*768 and you might find it really coarse when you want to surf the Internet and most of the time your website page wont fit into screen. But as far as resolution wrt to tablet is concern, I think this resolution is perfect and gives good feel of paper. The screen is hard and gives exact feel of pen and paper and it is very very responsive to tablet input. Pen just fit right in the hand and I dont have complain about it rather then the material which look too brittle to me.
This tablet has fingerprint reader which is really awesome (but u need to swap ur finger two three times). HP security center is really great too, once u enter the password the security software save it and then you dont need to enter it next time. It is better then saving the password in internet explorer incase other people use ur tablet.

The pc does get a little hot because of it higher end cpu but it is not uncomfortable to me. The noise it makes might be audible in the class with pin drop silence but i usually keep it in my lap which just muffle the sound. The power cord is substandard and the box between the cord does get really hot.
The customer service is exceptional, my power cord box stopped working and they replaced it immediately.

Dell Inspiron iM1012-799CRD Mini 1012 10.1-Inch Netbook (Cherry Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was after a new netbook (owned an EEE 701)and thought I would go with the Dell this time around.
I found the Dell the most attractive package in early 2010 for the follwoing reasons:
1. comes with the new Atom 450 (should be a little more nergy efficient)
2. the 6-cell battery gives me more air time than the 3-cells batteries in so many other netbooks.
3. the keyboard is a pleasure to type on quickly.
4. the case is not only pretty but sturdy. No noticable flexing of any kind under pressure.
5. the screen is nice, colors vibrant.
6. touchpad is of a nice and usable size.
I've been using the Mini now for a couple of days and I'm not disappointed. I use it for light web surfing, emails, and typing (the classic core apps of a netbook). In addition, I use it for streaming music under my Zune subscription.
My expectations are met. Windows Starter only seems a bit of a bottleneck in terms of included (or lacking) features compared to Home or Professional. I couldn't figure out how to back up the Mini via a mapped network drive and as it stands, it must be a missing (or blocked) feature due to Windows 7 Starter Edition. Upgrading seems the better choice if one really wants to use the Mini for sharing and streaming at home.

Gateway LT2030u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this notebook (Black LT2032u) at Best Buy a few days before Black Friday, and so far, I'm rather impressed. Bought this more my wife, since she can never seem to get on my computer (I'm always on it). Plus, it's so small and light, we can leave it downstairs on the entertainment center, instead of her having to go upstairs to the computer room to use a computer.
It's form factor is just about the perfect size. My only complaints are:
1. The keyboard is a bit cramped for my bigger hands (but it's a netbook, so I can't really fault it for that, as I knew what we were buying)
2. The fact that the edges of the lid don't have any lips or hold points, so opening the cover when it's closed can be a bit tricky. A lot of times, I have to use my fingernail to start prying the lid from the base. Overall, not a deal breaker by any means, but can be annoying sometimes.
3. It comes with a Gateway Backup Utility for backing up your PC, but since the Netbooks don't come with a writable DVD drive (or any for that matter), the utility says no drive is available, and won't do a backup. Personally, I think this a flaw that Gateway should have considered, and modified the program to let you write to a DVD drive if you have one, or write an image to the Hard Drive, so you can move it to another PC on the network, and burn it to a DVD there.
The pc itself runs good. It came with the standard Atom 270, 1 GB RAM, built in Video Card, built in webcam, etc, except, this had a 250 GB HDD instead of a 160 GB HDD, and it came with Windows 7 Starter. While I don't care for how scaled down Win 7 starter is, again, I can't fault Gateway for that (blame Microsoft). I immediately upgraded the RAM to a 2 GB chip (replacing the 1 GB), and it is rather quick with this addition. Plus, I installed Google Chrome (which is much quicker than IE, and even Firefox by a bit), and it cruises the web with ease. I also uninstalled all the Norton bloat ware, and installed Windows Security Essentials Antivirus, which, believe it or not, is really very good and light (great for a Netbook). Oh, and it's free! Also pulled of the Microsoft Office Trial, and installed OpenOffice (also good and light, and great for a Netbook).
After two weeks of playing with it (yeah, I know, I supposedly bought it for my wife!!), I find myself not going upstairs to the computer room to use my main PC (a 6 month old new Toshiba Laptop) as much, and instead, I can do most of what I need on this one.
Really haven't run into to any other issues (other than those mentioned above), and I have to say, we're very glad we got it. Plus, when it was on sale at Best Buy for $279, it was a great price, considering all the other netbooks with Win 7 and a 250GB HDD were at least $350. I was originally considering the Toshiba NB205-N330, but that was $399+. Yeah, it may have had a N280 instead of the Gateway's N270, and a little bit fast BUS speed, and Bluetooth (I can buy a USB Bluetooth adapter for $4 if I need one), but, to save over $120, it was worth it. I don't think I would have really noticed the difference too much (at least not when I was playing with both at Best Buy side by side).
I'm very glad I purchased it, and I highly recommend it. Even a few of my friends who've come over, and I showed it to them, were very impressed. Save yourself a few bucks, and go with this over the higher priced Toshiba, Asus, etc. You won't be disappointed!

Lenovo S10-2 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got it today. It is pinker than it seems in the picture (I thought it looked sort of lavender). It's nice and tiny and light. The battery helps position the computer so that it sits up off the work surface and can breathe. The Windows 7 thing seems to be great so far: a lot better than Windows Vista. I'm not sure if it says anywhere in the description, but it comes with Word installed, which makes my life as a student much easier. I'm not a computer expert by any means, but from what I can tell, this easily will serve its purpose as an extra machine to take notes on and take to the library. It's very quick on the Internet, as well. A great deal for the money...as far as I can see.

Gigabyte T1000P 10.1 inch Multi-Touch Tablet PC - N470 1.83Ghz / 1366x768 / 1G SDRAM / 250GB HDD / 6 Cell / Windows 7 Starter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Quick Summary.There are no perfect mobile devices, rather its all about trade-offs. The Gigabyte T1000P is no different. You look for features that add value that differentiates one product from another product based on price, less any deal breakers or nasty surprises. I looked carefully for the presence of deal breakers before buying and afterwards I didn't find any nasty surprises. Battery--ok, screen brightness--ok, sound--'not crappy' (superior for a netbook), keyboard--nice, mouse--ok, screen resolution--superior, tablet mode--ok, video ok (superior for a netbook), connectors--superior, upgrade potential--superior. I liked the 1366x768 screen more than I thought I would. Ditto the GigabyteT1000P as an entertainment device due to the superior video and audio. The GigabyteT1000P is not a powerhouse but it'll do more than most netbooks and mostly everything that you'll want it to do within reason. Windows 7 starter is easier and cheaper to upgrade out of than xp and upgrading out of starter is something that you'll want to do right off. The Gigabyte smartmanager is really dumb and in general Gigabyte could use some software love. However, all in all I'm really enjoying the T1000P and I give it 5 stars as a best in class as it excels in enough areas to deserve 5 stars in my opinion. Frankly I think its worth the extra money for the other features even if you are ambivalent about multitouch/convertible. Read on for more details.
Battery power. Heavy use--surfing the web and watching movies with the screen set on high,with wifi constantly on, and driving a small USB flash drive--the battery lasted 5 hrs. Light use--with the screen set at the lowest setting (which is bright enough for indoors), with wifi off, I was able to get just over 9 hrs.

Screen brightness. In a shady spot, or for an overcast day, the brightest screen setting is faded but acceptable which doesn't dazzle but was good news. On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest brightness setting or one or two notches above will work just fine in most low-light (non-fluorescent) indoor situations, which is to say in my opinion the setting doesn't go low enough, if you are like me and you surf the web or write late at night. Neither is there any kind of keyboard light or book light. The first is a bit disappointing in a mobile device though it might get taken care of rather easily by a software update sometime in the future. The lack of a keyboard light, or backlight or booklight are features that as far as I know no one else has to offer either.
Sound. The sound on the Gigabyte T1000P isn't spectacular--I want to say that right off--however for a netbook I have to say its pretty good. Though tinny, the Gigabyte T1000P demonstrates stereo separation, the speakers are on the front of the device and the volume is just loud enough to hear from the other side of the room when you have it turned up all the way.I actually had to turn the sound down a notch when listening to Hulu.
Additionally there are quite a few controls built in to help with the audio situation. For example, right out of the box I was picking up an annoying echo which was corrected by resetting the Realtek High Def Audio from 'auditorium' to 'carpeted room'. An audiophile will still hate the sound--on this or any other netbook--but for an ordinary person listening to a movie in a quiet room without the hassle of headphones or external speakers, the internal speakers on the Gigabyte T1000P, while not up to the quality of even the most basic of home computer systems, but they are nice for netbook speakers. Bluntly.Most netbook speakers are crappy and these internal speakers aren't crappy.
Keyboard. The chicklet style keyboard has very responsive keys which I liked a lot. They feel great. About the only minor complaint I have is the small right shift key. Other than that, the keyboard would be perfect. In fact, I rather like the feel of these keys over those of my full-size keyboard.
Mouse. The arrangement of the mouse keys takes some getting used to. All you have to do is look at their separation by the mouse 'smart pad' and you can see why that is. Its an odd right and left-click key position. While I quickly got used to using the mouse buttons with two hands, it took me longer to get used to using using the mouse one-handed. And I still struggle with clicking the mouse in the dark. I can see why Gigabyte did it the way they did it--to save space. However, again a little software update might make the hardware more palatable. The way the mouse keys are now, they are right below the alt keys and to either side of the space bar. Many of us use the space bar to scroll down, why not give us more programmable mouse options using the alt + mouse keys? A middle/scroll wheel emulator would be particularly welcome. I wouldn't mind trying an alt+ right-click for the left-click button too.
Screen resolution. The 1366x768 is very very nice. The higher resolution makes everything more crisp and gives you the potential to have more screen real estate. If you like bigger icons for instance you can always reset them but the crispness remains. 1366x768 is an HD resolution. To me this is one of the key features of this netbook. If someone doesn't like 1366×768 resolution, they can always turn it down. But to me the 1366x768 is nice.
Tablet mode. Yes it does that (switch to tablet mode I mean). And tablet mode is a nice feature. However the Gigabyte is more a production device than a tablet device in my opinion. If you have smaller icons, (so as to have more real estate), that means that the device becomes less touch friendly so its a trade off. There isn't any special mode-switching software to help with the production to touch transition. There isn't a mouse available in tablet mode on the T1000P frame to help with navigation. There isn't an accelerometer available to help switch positions from landscape to portrait mode and back. There isn't any software bundled with the device like a book reader or gps/maps that are designed for multi-touch (with one exception, the ritepen). The GigabyteT1000P in tablet mode works fine for what it is, but if you are comparing it to a stand-alone android or apple tablet device, the Gigabyte T1000P will come up short as the Gigabyte is not a dedicated tablet device. So if your of that mind, don't bother buying a netvertible.
With that said, the touchscreen seems responsive. You can switch orientation using a keyboard shortcut or the smart manager. Smart manager orientation switching is painful. Using the keyboard shortcut while easy is not intuitive and maybe I missed it but it doesn't seem to be in the literature. With some experimentation I found that ctr+alt+[your arrow keys] will change your orientation. So "ctr+alt+pgup/uparrow" for normal landscape from any orientation; ctr+alt+home/leftarrow will switch to portrait mode from any orientation. I would suggest to Gigabyte that they put a sticker on the unit showing the shortcut key orientation (just a small transparent one like their multi-touch sticker) as they already have been panned in some reviews for their 'smart manager'. It might also be a good idea to make it (the smart manager button) programmable or even have a single press switch orientation and a double press call up the smart manager. Or perhaps just the single press and do without the smart manager altogether.
Video. I'm not a big video person. However, without any upgrade in ram, I was able to play all the videos that I wanted to play and just as importantly hear what was going on. Hulu, msnbc, etc. all seemed to play very well. Both inside the browser and in full screen mode I didn't experience any difficulties. For me this was another big selling point.
Connectors and upgrade potentials. There's a mini express slot, a mini interna1 pci-e (the internal slot that the Amazon specs call it the 3G phone slot.) These are multi- purpose slots that aren't often found in netbooks. If you want to get a sim card for 3G or 4G, then you can do that with the mini pci-e and built in antenna. But many people will put an additional flash drive in that slot instead. You can do both of these on the external mini-express card slot also or you can buy other third-pary add-ons such as a usb 3 adapter for the mini-express slot.
Then there's the vga connector that allows you to connect to projectors or external monitors. There's a separate headphone and microphone jack. There's (2) usb-2 ports and (1) usb-2/esata port (esata lets you connect to hard drives 3x faster than usb-2). There's an ethernet port that lets you connect to printers and anything that is ethernet ready. When you turn the Gigabyte T1000P over, Gigabyte has made the underside of the unit very accessible for upgrading the ram, getting to the pci-e slot, etc. In short this is one of the most upgradeable, versatile netvertible/netbooks on the market.

Acer AOD250-1410 10.1-Inch Netbook (Sapphire Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter needed a decent computer as my old one was not meeting her needs (never met my needs either). She only needs a computer for email, games and internet at this point, and this fits the bill for a good price. The lack of a CD drive is a minor annoyance, but for the weight and space savings I can transfer files to a thumb drive for her. The screen is small, but it doesn't bother her.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10.1-Inch Pearl White Netbook - 7 Hour Battery Life Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered my 1000HA with chiclet keyboard about a week and a half ago, and I couldn't be happier so far. Though I was surprised to see just how small 10 inches actually is (I can't even imagine having a 7-inch screen!), the screen size is comfortable for me and I'm able to cut down on my scrolling using the zoom-out feature on the touchpad--though I can see this being a problem if you're farsighted. I also haven't noticed the keyboard as being "flimsy," as some other reviewers mentioned, and even with the smaller keyboard I'm still able to type with what seems like the same accuracy. I tested out the built-in microphone and webcam with two friends in other countries, and both said they were able to see and hear me better than with my previous USB model. The speakers are average but crisp--I wouldn't recommend trying to use this thing to fill a room with sound, but if it's just you sitting with it on your lap you should be fine.
As for the drawbacks, they're pretty limited but still worth mentioning. The click buttons, like previous reviewers have noted, are a little difficult to use at times. When you approach them from the front they move easily, but I still find myself trying to click from the top (like my last computer) and I have to stop and think about what I'm doing wrong. Additionally, programs seem a little slower to load if you're used to a high-powered desktop replacement, and don't even bother trying HQ video because it will be too choppy--though "regular" video is fine, and I can run Hulu, network program sites, Youtube, and my Slingbox on this model. Again, keep in mind that these things will probably slow down if you try to run something else that's heavy-duty in the middle, though.
In conclusion, I love my new eeePC. I did a lot of research before buying this model, and I'm happy that I found this sleek little netbook to replace my dying (and huge) laptop. I plan to upgrade the RAM to 2GB soon, but it has been running well even without it so far. At this price, how can you go wrong!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Short answer: Great little computer
Granted, given the size, a NetBook isn't for everyone. But this computer gave me everything I had in my $1,000 laptop, in a MUCH smaller, cheaper package.
Keyboard size is excellent, speed is fantastic for word processing, emails, spreadsheets, etc. I got the upgraded screen w/higher resolution and the 6 cell battery since I travel and present a lot. Love the PCI slot and VGA port - a must for business use.
Pros: small, compact, cheap, fast
Cons: trackpad is small (would rather have had an eraser style mouse)
