I love mine!

Pros: I love this thing! The screen is small but very clear. I bought it for travel including in my own small plane and it is very convenient for that (casual consumer use - internet and email).

Cons: For some reason, every time I turn it on (including coming out of standby) the video comes up in 1024x768 mode, which makes the tool bar disappear. This is probably because I plugged it into a desktop LCD when I was setting it up. If I knew what I was doing this would probably not be an issue.

Other Thoughts: I deleted the bloatware and compressed the C drive and I have XP SP3 and NIS2008 on with 1 Gb to spare.

Pros: nice design, light, keyboard is small and comfortable.

Cons: battery lasts for a small amount of time. Takes a lot of time for the battery to charge, and the keyboard is getting hot after about hlaf an hour when working with the laptop

Other Thoughts: Overall great laptop for the money, but I expected a little bit more faster cpu.

Pros: Fast boot (depending on which anti-virus you put on it)
Nifty little machine for a second laptop
Screen res is decent (1024 x 600 or a scrollable 1024 x 768)
Great Slingplayer (portable TV)

Cons: HDD setup (C: is 4gb; D: is 8 gb) - makes it tricky to install additional programs
XP HOME - make sure you don't need XP PRO before ordering this
WHITE (Black wasn't available when I ordered, is now.)
No Blue Tooth (although the dongle I already had works fine)

Other Thoughts: I have been looking for a tiny laptop with SSD (or giant PDA) to use around the office for taking notes. This fits the bill with the exception that it is XP HOME. The keyboard is neither a pro nor con, but can be used efficiently with some practice.
