Customer's Reviews (All-Reviews)
S. Showalter ( Ohio, USA ) I was not a fan of netbooks that many out there, but this guy really surprised me. I started to compare against this netbook netbook from Asus, Acer, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and Gateway (a fairly complete line-up). There was a sharp contrast between the series of Mini 10 netbook and manufactured by other companies. For me, the decision to purchase really came down to comfort and ingenuity of its design. I believe that others choose this model mainly for the same reasons.
===== It's Comfortable =====
This thing is a dream to use. Most netbooks are unusable for me. What else bites with netbooks is the keyboard. I'm used to low-profile, scissors style chiclet switch keyboards that are (or at least used to be) more common in laptops, and in fact I love them. I refer to the type of keys that are flat and flush with the rest of the palm, and has a flange or just the edges of the lips (where the space between the keys). To see exactly what I mean, check the close-up on the right (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00361G10S?tag=a52-20&ie=UTF8 productDescription #). These types of keyboards makes writing very easy, since it will not cause wrist strain due to high keys or keys that require more force to press.
===== It's Innovative =====
The touch pad is small, but smart, who can hit the corners of the mat bottom-left/bottom-right to left-click/right-click (respectively), instead of wasting space by the application of separate buttons. The touch pad is very palpable, as texture and the finish is matte and not glossy, making it much more conducive to slide the fingers of most other netbooks I put my fingers. Most of the bearings netbooks touch was brilliant, making your skin strength and resistance to dragging gestures. I think the feeling of being almost annoying as fingernails on a blackboard! Netbooks were visibly covered with oil stains and grease of fingers, both within the block of the track and also at the wrist. Instant off for me on anything, but Dell! The Mini-10, another blot was free, thanks to the use of palm oil resistant soft rest texture.
===== What I Loved =====
* Keyboard design - 92% full-size!
* Touch pad design - genius usability features
* Wrist rest - comfortable, remains clean/streak-free
* 3 USB ports - 2-left/1-right is dandy for using a USB mouse
* Windows 7 - Vista isn't optimized for netbooks, 7 is
* 9:16 ratio display - great for movies (see above for DVD solution)
* Keyboard + Touch pad design - seriously! It hits the mark spot-on!
