    2 Star Rating  "Power connector problems"2009-11-18
    - Reviewed By User: A1E5DLAY7QRDWF
    The issue with this was the flimsy power connector. On the first day of use the power connector had a loose feeling (it's a very flimsy, weak jack). I had to push it in, and not move it too much or it would stop charging. After a week or so I had to apply light pressure in one direction to get the power connector to actually deliver power. This signals a poorly constructed machine - but the shipping company took it back, and is allegedly refunding my money.

    Great netbook. very good WIFI. Extremely good battery life and XP operating system. Only downside is you can't easily upgrade the internal memory: don't even try if you are not well trained and equipped.
     
    5 Star Rating  "great overall netbook"2009-10-06
    - Reviewed By User: A13MGX2WD20RFE
    very nice looking netbook, thin, light and i like the glossy case. has the faster N280 1.66ghz cpu and performs good. Runs windows 7 great. downsides are that it only has 2 usb ports and to upgrade the memory you have to completely tear this one apart which voids the warranty. i would probably go with the 1005 version though due to the extended battery life and extra usb port.
     
    2 Star Rating  "Hinges are flimsy - need to baby it"2009-10-03
    - Reviewed By User: ANUW9RHOGQJ4C
    The electronics on this machine are impressive. Work well that way. But you need to beware of the very flimsy construction of this machine. You will need to baby it as the hinges on this computer are somewhat delicate. Also the screen casing came apart on me as well. This is not a good machine to have if you travel extensively and knock the computer about. It is a rather delicate piece of equipment that cannot take a lickin and keep on tickin. Moreover there is no easy way to upgrade the ram. You will have to send it in if you want to upgrade the ram.

    On a positive note, the keyboard and screen are excellent. It is light and very svelte. It is a great looking machine. It responds well. I added Ubuntu to it and it really ran well. The XP version that comes with it is pretty snappy. So no complaints with the basic operation of the unit. I just need a machine that can take a bit of knocking around and this one doesn't fit the bill. My next netbook will probably be an Acer Aspire 1 which is much hardier in terms of hardware.

    - Reviewed By User: A284PF23EUKNN7
    My husband bought one for me for my anniversary. I love it. I carried it everywhere and used it everywhere. Then the power supply failed, less than two months after I got it. Called warranty, waited days, called back, waited, faxed documents, got pissed, called again. The part is on backorder till the end of september which is what they told me on August 20. Called at the end of September, part is now backordered another two weeks. I've now called six times. Can't even get their customer support managers to call me back. Meanwhile, it's a beautiful paperweight.

    Wonderful netbook, runs windows 7 awesome and I love it as much as my iphone but the company completely lets it down.

    This computer operates just like advertised. Great WIFI. It has extremely good battery life and XP operating system. Only downside is the owner's manual states that individuals should not try to install additional memory.
