It's not the size that counts...

 

I couldn't count this as a con because it's probably my fault, but I broke one of the spring loaded retaining tabs for the battery. My Bad. I was yanking it out of my bag and it got caught. Just be careful with that.

Small, lightweight (obviously). Great keyboard layout considering the small form factor. More than fast enough for web surfing, word processing, playing movies/mp3's. I have even been able to install and use Photoshop CS2 (although some operations are...

Well, the only con is the lack of a disk drive (which is not really a con considering this is a netbook) but it does make it a hassle to install some programs. Fortunately the internet has just about whatever you need

Good lil netbook

 

I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a small netbook for basic functions.

I purchased this netbook to replace a 17inch mediabook I had. This netbook was worked great for me so far. The size is great for me to bring to school. It boots up fast and shuts down fast, which again, is great for school. It runs quietly, even when...

Only battery offered is 3 cell. When Averatec comes out with a 6 cell for this netbook, it will be a lot more competitive with other brands

Good lil netbook

 

I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a small netbook for basic functions. If anyone needs a case for it, look up cases for the Samsung nc10, as the Averatec has nearly the exact same dimensions of it.

Only battery offered is 3 cell. When Averatec comes out with a 6 cell for this netbook, it will be a lot more competitive with other brands ; Also, the battery life meter is slightly off time wise. It registers 2 hours for me when fully charged, but...

Awesome!

 

I own a new Sony Centrino 2 laptop and a Toshiba laptop. I use them both for business and travel. I have begun to use this baby for on the road access to my corporate office server. I am thrilled as it rocks, I don't even take my much more expensive...

10.2 inch screen is awesome. It is anti-reflective! Excellent keyboard size, feel and layout. I have purchase an Acer Aspire One for the wife, it's okay but can't touch this baby. I have also owned an Asus Eepc and I liked it okay but this is really...

I really and truly cannot think of any at all
