We don't like:
Small, cramped keys; jerky multi-touch mouse trackpad
CNET UK judgement:

The 10.1-inch VNB101 is one of two netbooks available from display specialist ViewSonic. This model, the more advanced of the pair, is aimed at those who want to enjoy computing on the move for very little money. It's available to buy now from all good outlets for around £250. Continue Reading...

Not a bad machine by any means, but it feels like a 2009 netbook when we want a 2010 model
