Reviews

I bought this after discarding an MSI Wind netbook running Vista. It's superior in every way. The build quality is better, which is particularly noticeable at the keyboard. Overall, I like the size, the weight, and just the feel of it. I paid $299, which is a steal, for a box running XP (had it with Microsoft's new operating systems!) You know when you buy something and it just fits you perfectly? That's how this feels. Love it!

High points are portability and a battery life of about 5 hours max on medium brightness. That is what I expected. The only way you will get 6+ hours is on the dimmest setting. This is true for any netbook. Yes, loaded with unwanted software, but that can be deleted. Run speed is fine as expected for an atom/1 gig. I would pay $279- $299 direct from Amazon. In that price range it is a 5 star.

Bought this as a Christmas present, so I can't add too many comments, but I can put a couple of pointers below...sorry about the brevity of this review... PRO's: -Low price point -Good wireless range -Good battery life CON's: -O/S is Windows XP, not Windows 7 -Netbook size overall is a bit small, no fault of this particular product OVERALL: For the price we paid online during the Black Friday sales, it was worth it, but otherwise at normal price I would look for a different netbook for personal use

I have had this now for a couple of months and it is a great little netbook. I have not timed the battery life, but it has not ran out on me before being able to charge it again. Love the color and texture that do not leave fingerprints. I use it for the web, email, ebook reader, games, and it came with a one-year trial of Microsoft Office. I would highly recommend it!

I bought this for my son to surf with it is working really good its small and kids are into small windows with there game and such but when it get time to travel i see this working out real well
