Light but flawed

 

I wanted a lightweight laptop to replace my creaking netbook. This one fits the bill and that's why it gets 3 stars. Unlike Chromebooks, you don't need internet access to use it (I can't imagine anything less useful.) Unlike Netbooks, it does chunter...

Good but not awesome

 

So I got my laptop yesterday. Installation took around 15 mins and it's really straightforward. But after only few minutes I was not able to start any browser, tried to restart few times but no luck so I had to reinstall system, which is easy, just...

Good laptop.

 

Costs the same as a netbook, yet a lot more powerful. WiFi reception is weak though. Surprised that it did not come with a Windows 8 upgrade voucher as it was purchased so close to its launch. Very pleased with it in general and would highly recommend it.

Improvement over Netbook, better for MS Office use, ideal 2nd / travel laptop.

Excedllent value

 

I had an NC10 for four years and it served me very well, but I wanted to upgrade to better screen resolution and, consequently, less scrolling, and more power. First impressions of this netbook are very good. It is actually lighter than the NC10. It...

recommended

 

I looked at ipods and pads and fireflies (or whatever) but the amount of memory is always small and the ability to plug in peripherals absent. I have an i-pad from work and yes it looks very good but there are simply things it won't do. This is...

Happy with the purchase

 

The netbook is exactly what I was looking for, a light, portable, and basic computer to study on. The only times it has locked up briefly is when I have gone to flash heavy or badly coded websites but otherwise it is sufficient for what I need.
