"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
Light and small but usable size keypad
What I don't like:
Hard drive too small to even get the machine started!
Review:
Don't get why I should have to pay for something that requires so much work just to get it doing what it says on the box? It is a mini laptop, therefore I charge it up and get to work.
But with this machine, after finding it ran out of space as soon as it came out the box, first I am supposed to download an autoc2d, which required a cd which I didn't have and the machine doesn't have a cd drive! Then something to do with 'BIOS'.....IF THE MACHINE IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE DON'T SELL IT. It's not up to customers to put ASUS's mistakes right. And don't get me started on the battery that doesn't hold a charge....back to the shop with this baby.

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
