- none really

+ Compact, good screen, good performance

- Wireless networking could be improved

+ Small and portable. Relatively quick. inexpensive.

- Short battery life. Static buildup on the mobo causes the bootup to fail occasionally which is quite irritating. I have been told it is not a recallable fault.

+ so easy to take everywhere with you

- none

+ easy to use. quick to boot up. clear and good quality visuals. at first, you may find the screen size to be annoying but once you get used to it, you will wonder why you ever had anything larger. great for women who can carry it in their handbags! i bought it as a present for my wife; i thought she would hate it, but she says it's the best laptop she's ever had (and she's had toshiba, sony etc).

- small keys so easy to accidentally hit the off key/switch for wireless.

+ Probably the best netbook out there at the moment, and fantastic value when you look how functional it is. Great screen, fast processor, big HDD, decent keyboard.

- Poor battery life - comes with 3-cell as standard, which only allows a realistic 2 hours of work. Larger batteries becoming available, which will improve this significantly - but at a cost.

+ Small good value, easily available, relatively fast, great for travel

+ wireless connection never fails, win xp

- still to find them

+ Light, small and fast

- No general bad points, but obviously not a computer to do graphics or play with.

+ LED backlit screen is VERY clear and bright

- Standard battery life not amazing, but cells with 3.5x the capacity can now be bought, resolving the issue.

+ Small, compact and lightweight makes it easy to carry around with you from one location to another.

- Because it is small there is a tendancy to hit the worng keys when typing and it is also a bit oversensitive to the touch at times

+ Great keyboard, very lightweight and the price was very good when compared to the MSI version. Very impressed overall and would recommend the 4211 highly.

- The battery life is quite poor for a netbook, and the graphics seem to struggle when playing higher resolution MP4 files.

+ really good little computer. Has all the functions of a big desktop. I use it for everything that i use my larger desktop pc for.Its obviously a little bit slower, but it works well for everything i do. Its much more than a laptop for internet surfing.

- the battery life is really short. Can be solved by buying a bigger battery.

- only bad point to me is battery life when using it two hours goes pritty quick as once your on it you tend not to put it down, guess that might be a good point

+ Compact, easy to use. Comes with basic programs so at least you can use straight away.

- Not one

+ Good sized keyboard and screen.

- Battery life is a bit short.

+ This is an amazing piece of equipment. As good as a laption, but half the size Screen size is very good, lovely and sharp and resolution options are ideal for pluging into a normal desktop screen.
I've used a few differnt netbooks, and this one come out tops by far for me.

- No really bad points. Perhaps battery life (a couple of hours tops per charge) but high capacity batteries are available, but instead I bought a dc-ac adapter for the car so I never worry about battery any more.

+ Does everything that I need to be able to be truly mobile form the office.
Fits into a small shoulder bag and is more than powerful enough to easily run the programmes I use.
Keyboard is large enough that I can type on it for extended period without complaint.

- None so far.

+ quick start and finish

- none yet

+ Small and light. Keyboard is smaller than usual to allow this, but you get used to it quite quickly.
Runs all the standard office programs as well as any other lap top, although the screen size makes internet browsing a bit harder than usual as you have to scroll up and down more than usual.

- Battery life is pretty awful - about 90 mins with standard battery. However, I bought a larger battery and now get 3.5 hours, although this is heavier and bulkier than standard. Wireless seems to be a touch unreliable. Sound quality is very poor - don't know if speakers would improve this

+ Size, screen size, weight, speed.

- Battery life

+ The product is really good value for money, I liked it that much I have bought two of them. Its really good having a built in web cam, wireless & even better bluetooth!!!
