Positive Review

Strengths: Rugged, superb battery life, fast processor for a netbook

Weaknesses: I don't like the power on/off switch. You have to mash the thing down; and I fear someday it will break but we'll see.The Intel video doesn't support hardware video decompression

Summary: Been using this netbook on a daily basis which is great during long meetings at work. I'm no longer a slave to the power taps! It was powerful enough to have VPN, 3 remote desktop sessions open and Camtasia Studio recording audio and video of the entire desktop---and no flicker!The only real performance downside I can detect is that the Intel low-power GPU is not capable of hardware HD video decompression, so high-res MPEG4 video will flicker and get sticky, especially in iTunes.However, YouTube videos display just fine.

Strengths: Excellent Netbook. Pre-Loaded System and Software. Very good Battery Life (6h 30)

Weaknesses: Fingerprints all over. You need a cleaning cloth whenever you touch this netbook

Summary: - good WI-FI Speed and Internet Connection- huge Harddrive (160 GB)- very good screen resolution- excellent keyboard (even for big hands)- extrem fast booting-up (Windows XP)- I got this Netbook via Sabrina's Bargainhunt for $349.- approx. 2 weeks ago. The best deal I could find on the net.This Netbook worked perfectly out of the box. I was thinking about the 2GB RAM - but you use this netbook mostly for Internet and Office Programs. For me, 1 GB RAM was absolutely sufficient. I would recommend this Netbook to friends.

Strengths: none

Weaknesses: The worst non-customer service I have encountered in my life!

Summary: If you buy from this company you better hope the product does not breakdown! I bought a Asus mini notebook and it had a faulty drive and returned it at my own expense. Took a month and a half to get a USED replacement and it had three bad programs installed. I finally corrected two by myself since I did not get any real help from the arrogant so-called technical support after countless phone calls and being sent the wrong manual and recovery dscs. At this moment I am seeking legal advice on what action to take against this company for the worst product and service I've had in my life!

Strengths: Fast, very compact, keyboard is easy to use, nice screen, seems durable, BATTERY life, great wireless.

Weaknesses: The left/right mouse buttons are hard to push.

Summary: This little machine really performs, especially when you consider it is less than $400. It?s not a replacement for a desktop, so don?t expect it to be ? but if you want a machine to take to clas
