Wicked little Netbook

Acer Aspire AS1410-2801 Sapphire Blue Intel Celeron SU2300(1.2 GHz) 11.6" 2GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Quick to boot. Responsive. Excellent Display. Really Sleek design. Keyboard is giagantic, each key is at least as large or larger than a standard keyboard. The gesture driven touchpad is definately an improvement on a device that grossly needs improvement. Two fingers on the pad and swipe up and the page scrolls up, swipe down, scroll down, go diagonal and zoom in!!!

Cons: Too much junk software, but that's every computer you buy these days.

Overall Review: Definately don't waste your money on anything still running XP or Vista. Windows 7 was designed for devices like this and it shows. Wicked little computer and with Windows 7 it looks like something you'd see on a movie, very nice.

Nice Drive, totally unreliable

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ/ST500DM005 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Fast drive, good cost to storage ratio.

Cons: Bought three in Nov. 2010. As of Jan. 27 2011 2 of the 3 have failed with no warning. They were part of a RAID with an operating system on it and minor video editing duties being performed. No where NEAR full.

Overall Review: They're obviously not stress testing these as part of QC, otherwise both of the failures would have been detected.
