Score 9.0/10+ It is a good size and weight and has a good specification.
- Not really a bad point but the battery life is limited meaning you've got to remember to re-charge it it night.

Score 10.0/10+ My husband and I bought this laptop for our 14year old grandaughter. She wanted this particular laptop because it had been recommended to her, and she is delighted with it. She uses it for homework preparation, keeping in touch with friends etc. We also bought another one the same for our other granddaughter. The webcam is a very popular feature. The girls live in different parts of the country, and enjoy seeing each other's photograph on the screen, and keeping is touch. They are both delighted with their laptops.
- No bad points, so far.

Good design, keyboard very comfortable to use, instructions straightforward - love the integrated plug/adaptor, avoiding the clunky adaptor box in the middle of the power lead..
Looks good too!
- Battery life not great - but this was something I was aware of beforehand and it is not a huge issue for me.

Score 8.0/10+ Good looking machine and really quick to load up
- Would have liked the option of being able to have Windows 7 available to load/update when it is released. The internet connection took a bit of working out.

Score 5.0/10+ The netbook is small and light, easy to carry around, which is what i wanted. Keyboard is a resonable size too.
- Performance is slow, especially when trying to do more than one thing at a time. EG: chat on MSN and surf the internet. Touch pad is difficult to use as the mouse jumps all over the screen when trying to click on anything, a mini usb mouse is highly recommended and makes use alot easier.
