    I use my netbook primarily for novel writing. I love the portability- no laptop to drag around anymore. I can take it just about anywhere and have HOURS of typing without having to find a wall plug. I found if you set it on the best level of energy conservation that you can get over 10 hours of battery life in just one charge. It's alarmingly light, but no complaints here! You can pick it up with 3 fingers! And I bought a Case Logic "purse" as I call it so I can slide it in and off I go. If I'm going to be gone less than 8 hours, I don't even pack the charge cord. The only dislikes was Windows 7 starter- can't do a darn thing with that. I immediately upgraded to W7 Home Premium and installed Office 2007 on it. And the outer case is shiny and smooth and shows every finger print (no biggie really). I could care less about it being white on the bottom, that wasn't a factor for me. And I can't figure out how to turn off Windows Messenger from the start up menu. Just annoying, that's all. Overall, I love my little toy. And since we have all the other computers at home on W7, I can homegroup and transfer data back and forth between all of them. I was using a thumb drive until I got my laptop on W7. This was a excellent early birthday present from my hubby! Love it!

    i needed a computer for class to run quickbooks 2009 pro and that was inexpensive, portable, and from a brand name i could trust. this little dynamo fit the bill perfectly. now i take it to class and run quickbooks, do my homework in the library, surf the web, all in one charge - with some left over. plug in an external monitor and would never guess so much power comes from such a small computer. can't wait to upgrade the memory.

    Great Little Netbook at a Great Price

    This is my first netbook but one of many Dell computers. This little netbook is great for travel. I travel via motorcycle a great deal and this unit fits right in. The PC operates as described. Probably needs more RAM but that is easily rectified with an additional Gig.

    so far so good

    Seems to be a good product only had for a week, but very fast processing seems to run like a normal laptop, but much smaller and easier to handle. External dvd drives work fine with it, haven't tried movies yet but again it's built for ease of use and internet browsing, not really for entertainment.
