No regrets!

 

Agree w/ other reviews for the most part. I guess "it's spend a little more - get a little more". Screen size definitly a plus and the key size a real plus. With the bigger dimensions and additional RAM and Hard Drive memory over most other net-books,...

Not that great

 

The resolution is terrible and makes it noise while its on. The processor is 1.33 and not 1.66 like most netbooks at this price. Keyboard is great.

The Goldilocks of laptops!

 

I wanted a portable laptop for web browsing and e-mail while traveling. Normal laptops were too big and heavy and 10 inch netbooks were too small. This is the Goldilocks of laptops - not too big, not too small - just right. It has a full size keyboard...
