    So far I really like it.
    1.83 ghz, 1gb ram, integrated graphics

    PRO-
    1. I really like the screen, its nice and bright, and i cant really notice that its pretty small.
    2. Runs pretty fast
    3. The touch pad is recessed and feels really nice, and the media buttons on the front are nice.
    4. The HD audio sounds nice (got the upgrade)
    5. Great look to it

    CONS-
    1. The back seems to get fingerprints on it really easily
    2. The keyboard sinking problem that so many people talk about isnt that big of a deal, but i can definitely see it
    3. comes with a bunch of dumb softwar
    4. HD audio only works with its own music program, cant work with itunes or anything (help?)

    Is there any fix for the keyboard sinking? What's the deal with the HD audio. I couldn't get mine to reinstall. It kept saying the key was invalid. Is it purely just software? What is the benefit of having it installed?

    I once read this thing which involved taking the computer apart and readjusting some large pieces, but its not that big of a deal, im not going to do all that stuff.

    It is purely software, it improves the sound quality but ONLY when you use the software it comes with, which is kind of like windows media player, but it pretty much sucks.
