"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.
