Very nice looking netbook, thin, light and love the glossy case. N280 is the fastest processor at 1.66 GHz and doing well. Windows 7 works well. disadvantages that has only 2 USB ports and the improvement of memory that is completely rip the exception that voids the warranty. I would go, probably with the 1005 version but because of battery life and the extra USB port.

This netbook is great, but there are drawbacks that could be taken into consideration before buying: - bright screen, hard to read in bright environments - you must press the Fn key Holf page-up/page-down (with up / down) - a control station for monitoring, especially annoying if you're accustomed to simultaneous left and right click (for example, copying Linux) Everything else is perfect, in my opinion, this is my choice of netbook. great keyboard, keyboard great track great connectivity, it looks great ... BTW, it kicks ass ACER D250 One!

The electronics of this machine are impressive. Although the work in this way. But be careful of the fragile construction of this machine. Child needs, such as the core of this computer is a little 'difficult. The frame of the screen separate from me. This is not a good car to have if you travel a lot and beat the computer. C' is a fairly delicate piece of equipment that can take a Lickin and maintain Tickin. Also, there is a simple way to upgrade the RAM. You will send, if you want to upgrade the RAM.

A positive note, the keyboard and screen are excellent. And the light is very subtle. It 'a nice car. It responds well. I added Ubuntu to it and it went well. The version of XP that follows is quite catchy. So do not report the basic functioning unit. I just need a machine that can take a little 'strike "anywhere and that does not match the bill. My next will probably Netbook Acer Aspire 1, which is much more robust in terms of hardware.

This netbook is by far the best form of industrial design and appearance of a netbook I've seen and touched in person. You just have to stay super slim in your hands, because of candles thin and rounded edges of its thickest point. I discovered that the battery life is excellent in the brightness of the screen used, and compared with a traditional laptop seems to take a step forward and go forward. The weather, of course, is not "rating under the battery ideal conditions" mentioned, but it is a universal theme at all levels with the battery more automatic. The power cord and brick are also smaller than I had for any laptop. Brick is probably 1 "x3" x3 / 4 "I wish more laptops came with a truly portable power supply that.

I downloaded the release candidate of Windows 7 and immediately upgraded the memory to 2 GB with a stick and have not looked back. Memory upgrade is not for the faint of heart and should not be attempted by a person who has had experience with the hardware change. The division of downtime and the elimination of virtually all internal components after disconnecting more delicate ribbon cables. However, it was worth it for me, as Windows 7 major works on this netbook.

Points to think about before purchasing:
1. All of the ports have connected covers to add to the smooth design appearance of the laptop. If you intend to hook an array of devices up to it on a regular basis these covers could get annoying. Personally we don't use the netbook this way and I like the design look.
2. Difficulty in upgrading the RAM. See above.
3. The track pad and mouse 'button' on this model are different. To add to the clean design aesthetic the track pad is simply a rectangular zone of bumps on the case below the keyboard. This actually works well once the lack of an edge has been adjusted too. The tactile feedback of the bumps is something I find to be preferable to a regular track pad. The button design though would be my single biggest complaint. While it is a right click/left click setup, the buttons are on a single rocking bar/button. To perform an actual left click (the most common one) your finger generally has to rest on the left most portion of the rocker to leverage a click. Two regular buttons would be much preferred.
4. The keyboard is high quality, but a noticeable size difference from a regular keyboard. The feedback of the buttons is great, but I would not plan on writing any research papers on it.

I bought this for web browsing and e-mail anywhere, besides being a cheap holiday travel laptop (the movie viewing, downloading and viewing photos from cameras The charge of music for your iPod, etc.). In such an application the device is absolutely perfect.
