    Needed a netbook asap today to buy in person... and this the only one i could find. i would have loved a dell mini 9 but this 'aint so bad'. I am really liking its so far. The only cons i see are:

    keyboard is very small and the important keys (shift, backspace, caps lock,alt,windows,ctrls, and the enter key) are all way to small. However the more time i spend on it the more i get use to it.

    space bar is slanted

    makes noise, i thought it would not be audible, its not bad...

    cant play and 3d games seriously, or even a 720p hd file. I had no issues playing 2 games or older games. also this netbook has NO issues with standard defenition video files.

    all and all its pretty solid. I enjoy the screen size. I jut have a couple questions:

    how can i make it faster without adding ram ?
    where and how much is an exteneded battery?

    This little laptop will be great for my travels and for college. It should keep me busy untill my alienware desktop gets here...
