I bought this little Netbook when it first came out in the summer of 2008. I loved the fact it weighed about 2lbs and it was as small as a school notebook. It could easily fit in my pocketbook. Thinking back to my first laptop, a Toshiba Satellite I...

Honestly, I may have been expecting more than this little PC could offer. But It runs slow, doesnt stay connected for very long to my wireless, and the video is very choppy.

this little computer was a bit of a challenge but only because I wasn't used to Linex. After I got used to it, I love it! The battery lasts a long time and doesn't take a long time to charge. The keyboard is small but it is still good! I wish that I...
