I have to say that I am absolutely in love with this product. It is far better then I expected, because when you read the reviews for netbooks, it can scare the hell out of you because so many people seem to be able to find so many flaws that disturb them and cause them some kind of trauma….
But this one seemed to be the best value for the money, given it’s hard drive size, and battery power… and it has not disappointed. It runs Windows XP beautifully, and given it’s size, I found no need to upgrade to windows 7, and actually forgot how good XP can be. It has run flawlessly right out of the box, immediately found my wireless connections in both home and my office and the battery life so far has been great. It’s averaging around 8 straight hours with heavy usage and runs all my programs with a decent amount of speed.
I went to Best Buy and played around with all the netbook keyboards and mousepads and found this one to be the easiest one to type on and mouse with. One the whole I love this netbook and heartily recommend it to anyone who is concerned about buying the right product with the least amount of troubles.
