    Trackpad is the dealbreaker

    I bought this netbook to be used as a true netbook. Casual internet surfing and light book reading. The problem that caused me to return the netbook was the trackpad. The design of this one is basically unusable IMHO. Trying to select the left-click caused the mouse pointer to move up about 1/4 an inch each time. No matter how close to the bottom I got, I could not seem to get it figured out. I thought at first it might have been a high-speed trackpad like on the MacBook, but it's not. You still need to left/right click in a specific piece of real estate on the track pad itself since there are no dedicated buttons for this function. After a few attempts of use and frustration, I decided that it needed to be returned. I did not have to pay the 15% restocking fee since I explained to the CSR the problem with the trackpad and she said I was not the first. I suppose I could have used a USB mouse, but then that defeats the purpose of the netbook.

    Wireless fails often

    Hello, My dad bought this Netbook for me and the first month it worked perfectly, but then I started having problems with the wireless connection. First I thought it was my wireless modem, so I tried other computers and even took the Netbook to some friend's houses and the problem persisted. It logs on and off very often. I have a 2 year protection plan, I hope they can fix this.
