At first glance this sleek black netbook looks like a great tool. First impressions proved correct this time around. Equipped with the Intel Atom processor, 1gb of ram, 160gb hard drive, and a 10.1" screen, this netbook is exactly what I need for day to day internet and basic application operations. It has a built in wireless card, windows xp, and a built in photo/video camera.
So far I havn't tested it much. It came with a 60 day trial of ms office, but i got rid of that quickly. I am interested in efficiency and speed. I downloaded open office which is phenomenal for what I need to do. I have also downloaded the latest versions of iTunes, Skype, CCleaner, Google Chrome, and Picasa 3 photo manager.
The keyboard is a good size and the buttons are smooth and easy. The mouse touch pad is a series of raised dots in the plastic frame work that responds nicely. An interesting feature is mousepad scrolling, where you can use your finger on the bottom and right edge of the pad to slide your page up/down, left/right. Another feature is two finger zoom in/out on the touch pad. The clicker below the touchpad is less than desirable, although having a nice polished face, it clicks hard. I have overcome this with an optical wireless mouse which I prefer using much more.
Overall I highly recommend this netbook. I have only been using it for a few weeks. If I come in to any issues, I will be sure to follow up!
