"Entirely delightful"

What I like:

function not fasion

What I don't like:

Vista Premium so no option to downgrade to XP

Review:

Initially the N200 was given to me by my company so that I could work from home, but since changing employer I have actually purchased it again. The reason I really like this computer is that I believe for its price it is a real workhorse of a machine (even without the memory upgrade), I am using it for web development.
Im not a fan of shiny plastic and colourful buttons so the simplistic look for me is a bonus - basic tools to create beautiful things.

There are a couple of issues:
1. It came with Windows Vista Home Premium, and some of the community built web development tools will not run on it yet so I may downgrade. This is somewhat of an issue with Vista premium.
2.The touchpad and buttons do feel a little cheap and ive found they can be over sensitive.

Other than those two point it is entirely delightful!
