"Exactly What I Needed!" on by spudskier
Pros: Light Weight, Size, Keyboard size, speed, lack of pre-installed junk, battery life!!!, touchpad, HDD size, USB outlets, SD card slot, bells and whistles galore! Sound!
Cons: Wish it had an optical drive which I know is uncommon among Netbooks... same with keyboard, wish it was bigger but I'm getting used to it.
Summary: It's exactly as advertised. All the options I wanted in a netbook, easy to use, very light. Setup was a snap, was playing on the internet within 20 minutes of opening the box. Start-up and shut down are quick, huge HDD, speakers are good for a netbook. My favorite part is that they didn't preinstall a lot of junk and trial offers. In fact no trials except McAfee (which I dumped for AVGFree). Haven't been able to drain the battery yet! I haven't had the problems others have mentioned with the screen, it's between Matte and shiney? but easy to read in the daytime. Not the crispest screen in the world, but just as good as your typical LCD. Getting used to the keyboard but it's bigger than other netbooks I checked out. I love it and am very glad I got it.

"The Best Netbook" on by allamerican1985
Pros: CNET complained that the price is too high for a netbook but I feel that it is well worth it. The near full sized keyboard and 2.1 audio are great. It also feels very solid and is well designed.
Cons: I would have liked 2 Gb of RAM.
Summary: This netbook can run Windows 7 without any problems and is quick and responsive. Never thought I would buy a netbook but this one is perfect for what I need it for.

"Solid- Definitely worth the few extra bucks" on by jk55337
Pros: Solid battery, solid keyboard, small, lightweight. It is a very usable netbook.
Cons: It only has 1GB memory. It's probably worth it to upgrade it, but I have not yet and to be honest, it works fine. Don't load it down with a ton of software. It is also a bit more money than other netbooks.
Summary: I've hard this netbook for about a week and I can tell you I probably won't take my laptop with me much anymore. It's just not worth it. The thing that really shines on this netbook is the keyboard. It's very comfortable for how small it is. You can definitely use it to get meaningful work done on the go. I have it loaded with Office 2007, Endnote, Acrobat, and Firefox (and an antivirus program) and it boots up faster than my Dell e1505 (which is a few years old now). I also loaded Skype on it- seems to work great with no problems, though you probably can't have 6 applications open while running Skype.
If you do a lot of traveling and need something lightweight tiny, I would definitely consider this netbook. -

"I love my N120!" on by minishkaa
Pros: Excellent Battery back up. Speaker being near the LCD screen is a boon. Does not heat up like some other laptops in the market and also very silent as compared to its competitors. Compact and nice design. Keyboard is perfect.
Cons: Slows down other applications when you are using skype and other video conferencing facilities. Incase you are heavily into it, then its not a bad idea to upgrade the 1 GB RAM to a 2 GB as this ones expandable.
Summary: Its a good idea to use a partition software and divide the memory into 3 drives for better performance. 2 Drives seem a little less.Close all the unwanted programs running in the background unless you really need them including the bluetooth function, Auto update of your anti virus, battery extender and the other milliion things showing on the bottom right icon and see the performance improve.
