It's a a nice, small computer that seems fairly quick for a netbook. I installed Windows XP Home from a USB flash drive, but the Ubuntu operating system seemed fine, Earlier I had tried to install Win XP Pro, but it could not find the sound card even after installing the drivers.
Overall a nice computer. The trackpad is nice, but the right and left click buttons are hard to press and seem almost cheap. I am also having difficulty receiving Wifi signals. Where my Macbook gets 5 bars, ... Read More
Rating: - Buy this machine! Totally awesome netbook!
Life without Windows is great! Everything is great on this netbook (except the built-in web cam that died). Everthing is good on this in terms of productivity. Microsoft must be scared as they are holding off retiring Windows XP and installing it on netbooks to try and crowd out Ubuntu, which is SUPERIOR!

2)The keyboard is small (to be expected) BUT there is NO Shift ... Read More

He will never misplace his little laptop because of the terrific bright color and it is just the right size for his small fingers! It is a perfect first computer for him but actually has more memory than my Gateway home computer!
Rating: - runs GOOD!
I've had mine for two weeks now and am impressed with the smoothness and speed of the operating system. I usually use KDE, but the Gnome on the Ubuntu looks good and works flawlessly. The unit is a tad larger than an oversized paperback book. The keyboard is as small as you can go for human fingers, but it and the touchpad have a high-quality feel to them.

The Ubuntu netbook remix software repositories are HUGE. You'll find about everything you want ... Read More
