  • None so far, except that it was choking on the large files and large numbers of them on the file directories including the CF cards, I mean literally freezing until I put in a 2 GB memory card from Crucial, for about $20 from NewEgg, that arrived today and it turned the computer into a real racer or zipper
  • Eee storage is online
  • Does not have bluetooth built in, Eee storage is online
  • Runs well with 1gb of memory screen and is easy on the eyes even for those of us with less than perfect vision
  • Lots of USB slots x3 and you can use high capacity SdHC cards in it for up to 16 or 32 gigs of additional storage and an rj45 port for wired networking
  • 1GB ram runs XP pretty smooth (I might install Ubuntu
  • Only comes with 1Gb of ram
  • I say this as a con because some resource intensive programs take a bit longer to load and RAM is always nice to have maxed out
