Good: it looks really good

Bad: cant describe in this gap

Comment: I got it on xmas 2009 and it it didnt take long to set up but when i first used it the netbook started zooming in and out when i did not make it so that annoyed me alot .
then 4 or 5 mounths past the screen hold on plastic clips started falling off and that started happening more frequently so i got fed up about that.

the problems were also that i would of liked a windows 7 laptop not windows xp .the laptop looks mint

if you want to buy a cheap basic netbook but if you want a quality up to date laptop just avoid it

Good: small

Bad: very slow; battery life has fallen from short to nil; awful audio feedback

Comment: I bought this after much research, finally persuaded by excellent reviews on this site. I have now had the machine a bit over a year.

After about 3 months it started to slow down noticeably. I have doubled the RAM to 2MB, which made no difference, and had it checked out by a local PC service firm, who could find nothing wrong. It runs too slowly to be useful.

The battery life was at first about 4 hours. It now shows around 2 hours on startup but after 15 minutes this falls away to minutes and hibernates.

There is awful feedback when both mike and speaker are switched on so I can't use the mike.

An awful machine.

Good: Reliable, does everything I want it to, and has lasted longer than my previous laptop.

Bad: The speakers are pathetic. You have to really be in a quiet room to use it for skype.

Comment: A good alround netbook. It does everything I expected it too, doesn't crash. It even survives attempts at destrution by my toddler. The keyboard is a nice size, and graphics are good. But the inbuilt speakers are really really quiet.
