The computer is virtually useless as it does not have enough memory to store applications. 7Gb these days just about supports the operating system.

The key pad is to sensitive its some times hard to stop it scrolling u0p and down.
No spell check until word is installed as the memory is not very big I had to purchase a memory card.

Very limited space so can not download much. Glossy cover gets fingerprints all over. A bit of a pain having to move page sideways and back again when reading anything.

battery life could be longer (but that would probably add to weight) and memory could be larger

Excellent display, quite fast. We use this on the move in our Motorhome with WIFI and Vodaphone Broadband pay as you go - excellent.
-
Touch pad difficult to use - mouse really vital. Screen shape means you need to scroll more to read it all and sometimes the lower part of the display becomes innaccessible e.g. Acrobat print screen yo can't see or reach the print button. The base memory is a bit small but fits XP and some other programmes.

Excellent little laptop thats portable and more than adequate for Office applications and web surfing. Battery life is good. I've added an SD card to install some applications which run fine.
-
The apostrophe key is small and right next to the carriage return, so you can sometimes press new line instead of an apostrophe, which is mildly irritating. That said, the keyboard is fine to type on.
