Comments: I am very glad that I purchased this netbook. I was looking for a netbook that could play minecraft decently so that I could take the horrible addictingness of minecraft everywhere I went, and I found one in this computer. Although the processor is only a 1.2GHz, its performance level is on-par with the 1.66GHz Intel Atoms. The graphics, however, blow most intel-based netbooks out of the water. I was attempting to run minecraft on an Intel Atom netbook and on lowest settings I could pull about 2-3fps, if that. (due to the Atom and Intel GMA graphics) However, on this netbook, I am pulling around 20fps on mid-rang settings, which is quite playable. Other games I have tried: Dead Space (runs slow, but plays), Borderlands (Runs quite slow), Portal (Runs well on low settings). Also, as a side note, I upgraded the RAM to 2GB before I even powered the little guy up. 1GB netbooks really can't do gaming. All-in-all; fantastic machine for the price and form factor.

Comments: Immediately bought a Samsung 470 SSD and G.SKILL 4GB RAM to replace the somewhat neutered components shipped with the unit. Immediately replaced the Windows 7 Starter Edition with Arch Linux (SystemD replacing SystemV Init). Adjusted power saving options for Linux. I am now getting 10+ hours of battery life on average usage. Be warned that you must completely take apart the laptop to change out the hard drive. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
This machine, with its single-core processor, runs a desktop environment quite well. I am running KDE with Desktop Effects on and still get over 10 hours of battery life and pretty zippy performance. Some web pages bog the system down a bit using Chromium, but otherwise everything runs pretty great.
This machine is fine for SOME games. Minecraft mostly chokes on it. Set the details way down and install optifine to add even more speed boosts and still only get 20fps. 2D games like Osmosis work just fine.
