Good screen quality, smart design

Very heavy battery, keeps turning itself off when you move the screen slightly. Only comes with a trial version of Windows Starter 7 which isn't great considering the price you pay for the netbook

Flawless!! I bought for net surfing, skype, messenger and work also something I can travel with. It is small, compact, light and fits in to my bag nicely not like the big bulky heavy laptops. I travel a lot so wanted something I can travel with. I...

The only thing that let's it down is the speakers they work ok! Just bit tiinny in sound which is shame for an amazing netbook. But when travelling I use my headphones and when at home use external speakers, so not a major problem. They do work well...

I like the compact design of the prouct and the tactile feel of keyboard. I upgraded thw windows 7 starter to home as the basic windows 7 has limited functions

The SD card reader has not worked since purchase ,not a big deal but would benice if everything did work. Would prefer to have a Windows 7 home or ultimate from scratch

This product looks good and performs well when used for surfing the net, I'm yet to try much in the way of word processing etc but I think it would do ok as long as you don't expect miracles.

The battery is a bit of a shock, it's huge but does have a long life, about 6.5 hours on average. The pictures should show you how big the battery is so are a bit misleading.

well put together, looks like it will last, very clear screen and incredible battery life.

speaker sound isnt amazing or that loud, keys are not that easy to type with

light and looks good

battery sticks out a lot which you don't see from the website photos; the hard drive crashed for no apparent reason after only 3 months

compact and light weight , good battery life

i find the keyboard not very sensitive and the keys are very close together

This is a fab netbook, its a lovely colour and a good weight, it would suit any girlie that loves pink things.

nice looking, reliable machine with good battery life

windows 7; battery lock does not work effectively; and the protruding attery ruins an otherwise solid all round notebook

Batery keeps very long Very handy Nice design

Terribly poor performance Very slow Fan works all the time, and additionally very loud Computer starts around 7 minutes * no programs running from the start, so no reason toi work like this)
