"Absolutely Perfect Netbook--like a full laptop"
Pros: Small & lightweight but large enough to see the screen and type comfortably, very comfortable keyboard (better than my other laptop), very long battery life, bright screen (even outside), large hard drive, fast performance
Cons: None so far
Summary: I've been using this for the last 2 weeks, and it's absolutely perfect! After reading some reviews, I was worried about the shift key and the buttons on the touchpad, but these haven't been the slightest problem for me. The shift key must have been moved after some of the other reviews were written because it's in exactly the right spot. As for the touchpad buttons being too stiff, I didn't find this a problem at all. In fact, I really like the placement of the buttons because it's right where your thumb naturally rests in front. I'm a graduate student, and I've spent several hours at a time typing on this thing in the coffee shop, and it was absolutely perfect: battery life held out, keyboard was extremely comfortable, and the screen was bright and vibrant, not hard on the eyes at all. I was going to add another GB of memory, but it doesn't seem like a problem. It's very fast. I installed MS Office 2007, and everything runs wonderfully. Haven't spent much time with the webcam, but it seems fine. This netbook is absolutely wonderful, I would recommend to anyone. I actually can't see much difference between this and a small laptop. It's great. (and the white doesn't attract fingerprints)
