    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.

    - 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.
     
    5 Star Rating  "Excellent Netbook"2009-09-18
    - Reviewed By User: A201HY390D0WJC
    This netbook has by far the best industrial design shape and look of any netbook I have seen and touched in person. It just feels super slim in your hands due to svelte tapers and rounded edges from its thickest point. I have found that battery life is very good at a usable screen brightness, and compared to a typical laptop this seems to keep going and going. The up time, of course, does not match the 'ideal conditions' quoted battery rating, but that is a universal issue across the board with most battery operated devices. The power cord and brick are also the smallest I have owned for any laptop. The brick is maybe 1"x3"x3/4," I wish more laptops came with a truly portable power supply such as this.

    I loaded the release candidate of windows 7 and immediately upgraded the memory with a 2GB stick and haven't looked back. The memory upgrade is definitely not for the faint of heart and should not be attempted by anyone that has not had experience with hardware modification. It requires splitting the machines case and removing almost all of the internal components after disconnecting several VERY delicate ribbon cables. However it was worth the trouble to me as Windows 7 works great on this netbook.

    Points to think about before purchasing:
    1. All of the ports have connected covers to add to the smooth design appearance of the laptop. If you intend to hook an array of devices up to it on a regular basis these covers could get annoying. Personally we don't use the netbook this way and I like the design look.
    2. Difficulty in upgrading the RAM. See above.
    3. The track pad and mouse 'button' on this model are different. To add to the clean design aesthetic the track pad is simply a rectangular zone of bumps on the case below the keyboard. This actually works well once the lack of an edge has been adjusted too. The tactile feedback of the bumps is something I find to be preferable to a regular track pad. The button design though would be my single biggest complaint. While it is a right click/left click setup, the buttons are on a single rocking bar/button. To perform an actual left click (the most common one) your finger generally has to rest on the left most portion of the rocker to leverage a click. Two regular buttons would be much preferred.
    4. The keyboard is high quality, but a noticeable size difference from a regular keyboard. The feedback of the buttons is great, but I would not plan on writing any research papers on it.

    I bought this for surfing the web and emailing anywhere, along with being a convenient vacation traveling laptop (watching movie files, offloading and viewing photos from cameras, loading music on ipods, etc.). In such an application the device is absolutely perfect.

    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.
