WOW! Fantastic Netbook! Bought this one, sight unseen based on other reviews. Upgraded to 2 GB RAM running XP SP3. This thing cold boots in 40 seconds and battery life really is 10+ hours. Light weight even with the 6 cell battery pack. Cool running with a very crisp, bright screen. Doesn't do well in direct sunlight but what does?
For those worried about the Keyboard size - I found it works fine and the touch/click allows touch typing with almost zero adjustment/learning curve from a full sized keyboard. PLUS... The arrow keys, delete key and backspace keys are EXACTLY where they should be. It makes correcting typo's fast and effortless.
Best of all, the Mouse Pad is "tactal" with raised bumps instead of a smooth touch area. You get fingertip feedback that makes using the touch pad easy, even in the dark. The right edge of the touch pad comes preprogrammed to do a vertical scroll which virtually eliminates any inconvenience with the 600 pixel Vertical Screen size.
It is a great replacement for my HP full sized laptop and performs as good as my 4GB desktop in Word and Excel. It booted up the first time and found my WiFi Network flawlessly. Even the sound quality from the built-in speakers is good for everyday use.
Buy this one! You won't be disappointed. I've already recommended it to my friends at work, one of whom bought one for his son to take to college as an incoming Freshman.
