Pros: clear, bright. makes my dell 2001wfp look like a waste of cash. (even if the vertical viewing angle isn't as good)

Cons: no vertical height adjust. wouldn't be so much of a con if it didn't sit so low to the ground by default. but easily fixed with one of my many obsolete ~1,200 page programming books. :)

Overall Review: one bad pixel has no green sub-channel. don't notice it unless you hunt for it.

Pros: unknown

Cons: does not support xD Card as claimed. both the box and the newegg listing list it as supported, but xD cards fit in none of the slots. the box only notes "* an adapter may be required for some sormats"

Overall Review: disappointed

Pros: Overall I like it – assuming the suspend issue gets resolved shortly. The high-resolution screen is a very welcome improvement over every other netbook out there. CPU-wise it is moderately faster than my Lenovo S10 (Intel Atom) at “open all in tabs” (17) from Google Chrome. GPU-wise it blows it out of the water. Battery did last in the range of 6h last night and this morning w/ heavy usage. (installing packages and updates mostly) linux compatibility (using Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64): - installer uses the wrong screen resolution, but otherwise completes fine - broadcom wireless worked fine after restricted driver install; note: I had to push the Fn-{wireless} key to turn it on on first boot (although it stays on through power cycles) - ATI graphics worked fine after restricted driver install - sound works fine - ethernet works fine - webcam works fine

Cons: linux compatibility (using Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64): - suspend does NOT work - the “unsupported hardware” overlay in the lower-right corner (probably will go away when Ubuntu updates catalyst driver); OpenGL works well (tested w/ WebGL in Google Chrome

Overall Review: Upgrading the memory: There are posts elsewhere on the internet saying to take a screwdriver to the top-right corner of the laptop and pry off the keyboard. DO NOT DO THIS. The keyboard is fit very tightly and i do not see a way to do it without marring up your laptop. You do have to remove the keyboard to get to the memory though. Here’s how: - remove the battery - open the notbook; turn it over - look into the battery cavity; towards the right there in a square hole in the plastic with metal flush behind it – this is the bottom of your keyboard - push on the metal with something dull (I used the bottom end of a pen) until the kayboard releases; note: don’t use the jewelers screwdriver you have in your hand! the metal is thin (almost a foil) - flip laptop over; finish prying out keyboard - remove the 4 screws under the keyboard w/ a (1) next to them - push in the (2) hole w/ something blunt to pop off the bottom panel - install memory - reassemble (johnny 5?)

Pros: nice looking, sturdy feeling, if it worked

Cons: was DOA. drive spins up, but led stays off. tried with 2 hard drives. oddly, if you power it up, and then hotplug the drive in, it works. but unplug and re-plug it and it will refuse to init again. but considering it takes 6 screws to get to where you can use the hot-plugging trick again, i consider this DOA. and since newegg's return shipping cost is 1/2 the purchase price, and who knows if the next one will work, i don't feel it's worth the risk. VERY UNSATISFIED.
