"Good basic laptop at a Netbook price."
3.0 stars

on December 8, 2009 by tculkin

Pros: Excellent display, runs very cool, light weight. Free Windows 7 upgrade.

Cons: Touchpad offset to left - bad for right-handed users; click lock annoying - turn it off. Windows 7 upgrade took 6 weeks to arrive.

Summary: Works well for all basic uses - wireless internet, simple card games; fast enough for most functions, but not for video games. Doesn't burn your legs despite several hours' use.
Why but a netbook when a laptop is the same price?
