Most helpful reviewsConfirmed purchaser Often on the move
- Good points:
- Very good performance (when multi-tasking) for its size. Very light and ideal for travelling. Battery lasts for a very significant length of time. It definitely punches above it's weight and easily out-performs my Vaio.
- Bad points:
- A choice of OS's would have been nice (Linux etc.). Not being able to expand the RAM is a draw back but most notebooks have this.

Fantastic looking little device, Performance is excellent. I run VB Express, GIMP a few intensive applications that are not really supposed to be run on netbooks but I tried anyway and was incredibly impressed! The battery life is something else, you can probably get about 6hours out of it using VB and GIMP intensively and web browsing text editing you will get in excess of the 9.5hours battery life stated on the product.
Its small and compact and the keyboard is fantastic. Keys feel sturdy and good when your using them. The mousepad is very efficient with features such as magnify, Zoom in - out change tabs doubletap select etc etc and it is configurable. The screen is large enough and the default 1024x600 res is just about right for my use.
I know its an expensive netbook and I would prefer to have spent less on it than I did at the time but I did not want to compromise on the quality that I was going to be getting and I can very happily say this netbook is better than the cheaper laptops that you can buy!
If you are considering getting one then this is a definate must and I can promise you that you wont be disappointed! - Bad points:
- Honestly the only bad point I can come up with is the shift key is a little too small and I keep getting the / key instead, but practise makes perfect.
